White Churches of the Plains: : Examples from Colorado

Thin, square octavo. 10.25" x 10.25". Unpaginated. With a Preface by Thomas Hornsby Ferril. A VISION FROM THE HIGH PLAINS "White Churches of the Plains" is a powerful document of contrasts and extremes, the stark imagery of high plains church buildings suggests the community that invisibly surrounds and enlivens them. Now long gone, we can know something of what Adams' describes as the "luminous radiance" of the West in these architectural portraits of faith and existence, isolation and resilience. This same dynamic defines his later work in THE NEW WEST, where the fast changing landscape is illuminated by "high altitude sunlight". (Quotes from Adams interview). Signed by the author on the front free endpaper. Fine in fine dust jacket with shallow scrape along top edge without loss and a short closed tear, in mylar cover.
