Eliot Porter's magnificent photographs convince the viewer to look more closely at the natural world and to appreciate its tremendous variety, complexity, delicacy and beauty. This publication, the first in-depth retrospective of Porter's work, reflects his intimate encounters with widely diverse ecosystems across the world and emphasizes the scientific and humanistic foundations of his art. Seen as a whole, Porter's work projects an eloquent call to respect and value nature and to take careful note of humanity's diverse interactions with it. That appreciation, his example suggests, helps us lead fuller lives in closer balance with the natural world around us.

Seller's Description:
New. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request ***-*** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-FLAWLESS COPY-AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY, WHY WAIT? --110 four-color and duotone reproductions, 10 x 13 inches, 152 pages, acid-free paper. This publication is the perfect gift book for those who love photography. The 10 x 13-inch catalogue is the first in-depth retrospective of photographer Eliot Porter's work. Porter was among the first artists to explore and pursue color nature photography, and in so doing he produced works that changed the way we look at the world. In 1962, Porter achieved immense success with the publication of his book, "In Wildness Is the Preservation of the World": Selections & Photographs by Eliot Porter, which combined his extraordinary color photographs of nature with quotes from Henry David Thoreau. This book emulates the production of that groundbreaking publication, achieving the highest quality color reproductions at the actual size of the objects themselves. The book features three essays: the first is by organizing-curator John Rohrbach; the second, by well-known environmental writer Rebecca Solnit; and the third, by Porter's son Jonathan, who speaks eloquently to his father's memory. --"Here's the first in-depth retrospective [of Porter's work], sumptuously printed…. Time to rediscover a pioneer."--Chicago Tribune--"Provides an enlightening portrait and analysis of Porter's contributions as a pioneer in the world of colour photography, of his use of photography as a tool of conservation, and of his sense of craftsmanship, scientific inquiry, and passion for the world around him…. [The book] succeeds by sharing a broad cross-section of Porter's photographs."--History of Photography (May 2003)--with a bonus offer--
