Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
In an enlightening, authoritative foreword to this retrospective collection of Uelsmann's radical photo art, Coleman, who teaches at the Tisch School of the Arts, New York University, cites photomontages of 19th-century sentimentalists and Dadaists of the 1920s as important precursors to Uelsmann's work--the intermanipulation of two or more pre-imaged negatives to produce a single ``post-visualized'' print. As seen here in seamless cohesion, improbably matched images ``appear integral to the depicted scene.'' In a reverse kinship of form, four hands softly entwined contrast with four rocks suspended and forbodingly separate in mid-air; individual orbed faces are either hand-held or framed in a geographer's globe; a tiny human figure climbs the slope of a tilted drafting-board in a richly paneled chamber open to the sky. Uelsmann's originality is impressive.

This review is from: Jerry Uelsmann: Photo Synthesis (Paperback)
This is a great book about Jerry Uelsmann that goes into detail regrading how he creates his imagery. I think it is amazing that he creates all of his images in the traditional darkroom and does not use Photoshop. The seller quickly sent the book and when it arrived with slight damage to the cover and not as described, the seller refunded my money. This is a good and fair seller and I recommend the seller and the book.
