BILLINGHAM, RICHARD - Richard Billingham. Landscapes: 2001-2003

No Location Stated: Dewi Lewis Publishing, 2008. First Edition. Original decorated boards. ISBN: 1904587380. In original plastic wrap (small part on front cover torn). Light shelfwear. ; "Landscapes 2001-2003" by Richard Billingham is a captivating collection of photographs that explores rural and urban landscapes across England during the early 2000s. Billingham's work is noted for its raw, unfiltered depiction of natural and constructed environments, showcasing a blend of beauty and decay. This period of his work emphasizes the transient and often overlooked details of these landscapes, from the mundane to the majestic. His photographs are characterized by a spontaneous, almost impulsive approach to capturing light and form, resulting in images that feel deeply personal and introspective. The book invites viewers to reconsider their perceptions of landscape photography and challenges traditional aesthetics by presenting scenes that are typically deemed unremarkable through a profoundly engaging and emotive lens. "Landscapes 2001-2003" was once part of the extensive photography book collection of Chris Steele-Perkins, a prominent member of Magnum Photos. Steele-Perkins, renowned for his explorations of cultural and social landscapes, collected works that reflected a deep narrative and aesthetic value, characteristics prevalent in Billingham's landscapes. As a Magnum photographer, Steele-Perkins’ work often delved into complex issues of identity and belonging, themes that resonate with Billingham's intimate portrayal of English landscapes. Steele-Perkins' role in Magnum was not only to document but to tell stories that provoke thought and convey profound truths about human and environmental conditions. His collection, including Billingham's book, underscores his commitment to photography as a powerful medium for storytelling and social commentary. ; Quarto oblong; 96 pages.
