Jachna's "Or Water Is: A Photographic Meditation". Mysterious yet luminous photographs of bodies of water. "For a decade between the late 1950's and the late 1960's, his desire to photograph water in its many states became a powerful metaphorical tool connecting him, and us, to the elemental richness of life. These photographs provide a calming and meditative experience" (Publisher's blurb). What water is: A metaphor for tranquillity and majesty, for reflection and action. An absolute "must-have" title for Joseph D. Jachna collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Exhibition Catalog available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce copy thus. Lavishly illustrated with tonally rich plates. One of the most brilliant American photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER JOSEPH D. JACHNA TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). …
