Jeff Cowen. Provence Works, Gebunden

Klappentext

The light and the beauty of Provence, captured in photographs by Jeff Cowen, whose experimental work with the photographic process makes every print reminiscent of a painting.

In a world that is dominated by digital screens, technology, and speed, Jeff Cowen seeks to draw our attention to the sublime experience of nature's beauty through his work. The artist makes large analogue prints on thick photographic paper and experiments with the chemicals that he uses for the photographic development process, which makes every print unique. His work, like van Gogh's 130 years before him, reveals the power and beauty of nature in Provence: from the immensity of mountain landscapes and fields to the smallest detail found in a simple leaf or fruit. Including facsimiles on the endpapers taken from various sketchbooks of the artist.
