4.0 out of 5 stars Great supportive work, February 15, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Industrial Landscapes (Hardcover)
If you are a fan of the Becher's very formal style of depicting industrial features, then this book is a refreshing supportive work. It shows the structures in their original surroundings which leads to a much more vivid collection of pictures. That is, if its ever possible to use the word "vivid" on pictures that (as far as I can tell) does not feature a single human or animal.
If the Bechers were portrait photographers, the main work would be formal straightforward simple portraits, whereas the book being reviewed would be more photo-journalistically styled portraits á la A.Newman n or Y.Karsh.

PS. This book gets a four because my copy had a quite thin repro work. The plates did not have the depth or richness I expect from an $85 book from amazon.
