Author: Friedlander, Lee
Title: The Desert Seen
Description: New York, D.A.P. / Distributed Art Publishers, 1996. Hardcover. Grey DJ with photo illustration and black lettering; yellow boards with stamped lettering; 106 pp.; chiefly illustrations. Landscape photography may soothe or disturb; beckon one to forbidden corners of the world or remind us of those spaces only memory recalls. Award-winning photographer Lee Friedlander knows how to evoke such complex responses even when, as in The Desert Seen, the landscape is as strange and impenetrable as that of the Sonora Desert. Here cacti as expansive and preposterous as oceanic fauna are photographed with the reverence befitting nature's craftsmanship. Accompanied by a gentle but probing essay written by Friedlander especially for this book, the 94 magnificent tritone reproductions are an event for desert enthusiasts and photography connoisseurs alike. -- DJ.
