About this title

Synopsis

Book by Davis, Lynn, Wurlitzer, Rudolph, Smith, Patti

Reviews

This superb book of large-format photographs pays homage to the concept of "monument"Aboth as natural forms and ancient ruins of human creation. Collected here are ghostly photographs of icebergs sculpted by wind, atmospheric images of geysers, striking portrayals of rock formations, misty images of Niagara Falls, and pictures of the pyramids and the Meenakshi Temple. Each of the photographs is brilliantly executed, both technically and aesthetically, and the breadth of the photoessay is most impressive. The book as a whole is beautifully designed and printed, and the 60 plates are carefully reproduced on matte paper, giving the whole thing a touch of antique character. Gazing at these magnificent structures, now crumbling back into the earth, one is left with a sense of quiet dignity and wonder. A fine book by an outstanding photographer; highly recommended for public and academic libraries, especially libraries with substantial fine art photography collections.ARaymond Bial, Parkland Coll.
