Book Description

December 1, 1993 0961651555 978-0961651558 First Edition - Autographed by artist
Signed by the Artist, Masterworks From Forty Years presents the first chronological overview of Caponigro s entire photographic career in a single, beautifully printed and bound monograph. Each black-and-white photograph has been reproduced to facsimile quality and carefully varnished for this first edition. Readers familiar with Paul Capongiro s previous publications, The Wise Silence, Sunflower and Megaliths, will be delighted with this extended examination of Caponigro s artistic contribution. Many of the images seen in this first edition have never been published before.

David Stroud contributes a thoughtful, original essay that examines Caponigro s artistic development, from his earliest years of instruction and apprenticeship, through the masterworks that establish his place in the history of photography, to more recently created images that comprise his mature achievement.

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest landscape photographer of all time!, April 21, 2001
This review is from: Paul Caponigro: Masterworks from Forty Years (Hardcover)
When I look at a photograph done by Paul Caponigro I feel inspired and moved by what the image says to me. He has a way was translating a mood and feeling through his choice of subject matter and point of view. In many instances he can make the natural world speak and motion towards a sensibility that can create many emotions. There is a meditative atmosphere to his prints and choice of subject matter that in many ways invokes a mythic or gothic feeling. Caponigro's work whether it be a traditional landscape or a created still life continues to catch the eye of whoever sees it. He is an artist of the finest caliber who does what he loves and does as he likes. Although his work is obviously very personal to him, he is willing to share with all his viewers his beliefs and views of the world as he sees it. I often look at his work and feel honored that he is willing to share a special place in the world that he has discovered. There is little doubt that he does his photographs for other people to enjoy, not just himself. Paul Caponigro shows us the world like no other person can, he adds mystery and beauty to all kinds of places both natural and man made. Over the past forty-five years Caponigro has defined what it means to truly become a landscape artist. The work he has done has classified itself in a realm all by itself and has given other landscape lovers a place to strive to. His dedication to the craft of photography shows clearly in all the work he produces, and in many ways he has shown us the natural world as it has never been shown before.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gift for myself, May 28, 2011
This review is from: Paul Caponigro: Masterworks from Forty Years (Hardcover)
Several years ago I purchased this book as a gift for myself. I love classic landscape photography, but Paul Caponigro has not just put natural landscapes in this book, but cityscapes as well. Although I love Ansel Adams work, I feel Caponigro makes images that are more impactful. Not because of their technical perfection, (which they are technically perfect as far as I can tell) but because of their emotion. I keep this book wrapped up and put away except for the times I wash my hands good and clean and pull it out to refresh my memories of what it contains. This book is truly a treasure.
