Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Down in the Dirtchronicles more than fifty years of multidisciplinary artist Terry Allen's printmaking and visual storytelling. Rooted in West Texas yet reaching far beyond, Allen's work fuses image, text, music, and performance into layered narratives shaped by memory, geography, and personal mythologies. The book, anchored by the 202122 exhibition of the same name, explores how Allen's art inhabits the shifting space between fact and fiction, autobiography and invention. Peter S. Briggs traces Allen's evolution from early experiments at Cirrus Editions in Los Angeles to later collaborations at Landfall Press and Tamarind Institute, highlighting landmark works such as Juarez: A Simple Storya multimedia suite combining lithographs, music, and text. Recurring themes include love, violence, humor, the American Southwest, and the tension between home and exile. Allen's imagerybeds, highways, deserts, saints, and outlawsfunctions like fragments of stories that resist closure, encouraging viewers to assemble meaning from ambiguity. The book also situates Allen within the postWorld War II printmaking revival, noting his embrace of technical experimentation, serial imagery, and collaborative processes with master printers. Essays examine how Allen's prints, like his songs and performances, blur boundaries between media while reflecting on place, memory, and identity. Ultimately, Down in the Dirt presents Allen as a restless storyteller whose work defies linear narratives, inviting audiences into a world where personal history, regional culture, and artistic invention collide across decades of creative output.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Since the 1970s Rick Dingus has photographed ""landscapes"": remote wilderness and rural settings, vernacular traces, urban environments, and ancient pathways that invite viewers to look closer, to think about how to interpret what they are seeing. Perception unfolds in many ways in this volume, whose photographs document Dingus's lifelong exploration of the intersections of time, place, culture, and nature. Dingus discusses his creative process in practical and philosophical terms through brief opening passages and an in-depth interview with art curator Peter S. Briggs. An introductory essay by curator Toby Jurovics considers Dingus's oeuvre within the evolution of landscape photography from the nineteenth century to the present day - offering a view of the photographer's art as ""resilient enough to contain both empirical and metaphorical truth; the descriptive and the personal; the past and the present."" An essay by Shelley Armitage offers a more personal reflection on the experience of viewing the photographs. And art critic Lucy R. Lippard provides a chronology and sustained interpretation of Dingus's work, with its emphasis on transformation and on ""translating information across visual borders."" Landscape is always with us, deceptively simple, yet capable of providing something much more. By examining the rich variety of Dingus's work and reflecting on the evolution of ideas that lie behind it, Shifting Views and Changing Places invites readers to critically examine the pursuit of seeing.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Those of us with an interest in photography (I once earned my living photographing the homes to be demolished as part of an extensive urban renewal area in Syracuse, New York) have probably heard of the photographers who got their start with the Farm Security Administration under FDR s New Deal program. I am pleased to offer a softcover catalogue of an exhibition mounted by the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art at Utah State University, titled: Life and Land The Farm Security Administration Photographers in Utah, 1936-1941 . This large but slender, soft cover book (9 x 12 inches, 64 pages) features the works of three of the FSA photographers of the era: Dorothea Lange, Russell Lee and Arthur Rothstein. The Exhibition was held on the occasion of the centennial of Utah State University held from January 10- March 6, 1988. It was curated by Peter S. Briggs and there is an Introductory essay by Brian Q. Cannon. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The soft covers show some faint bumping to the corners and spine tips, barely noticeable. There are two tiny brown spots on the front cover. Inside the book is unmarked and the pages and photos are clean and bright throughout, without toning or foxing. The stapled binding is tight and sound.…
