À propos du livre
Visions of Nature is a collection of more than fifty digitally processed photographs revealing nature in stunning colors and provocative visions. In this collection I have sought to explore the concept of “defamilarization,” according to which a function of art is to render the familiar as unfamiliar in order to inspire fresh perspectives, new ways of seeing the colors, shapes, and patterns of familiar objects. Includes an introductory essay on the inspirations behind the series, including leading Twentieth Century figures and schools of art, including Viktor Schklovsky, who originated the idea of “defamiliarization;” Abstract Expressionism; and the artists Vassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, and Jackson Pollock. (Also available in a "Special Edition" printed in highest quality on 140# paper.)
