"Callahan did somehow arrive quickly at the sure knowledge that the function of his own work was to describe not the public issues of the great world, but the interior shape of his private experience." John Szarkowski
Nature is a selection of Harry Callahan's nature studies, 12 intimately scaled prints that the artist assembled into a series in the early 1990s, herein reproduced as beautiful tipped-in plates. Over the course of a career that spanned six decades, Callahan made nature of one his foremost themes, and continually researched new ways of seeing trees, weeds, snow and surf. Ranging in date from 1941 to 1991, these images are typical of the artist's innovative approach to these subjects, as well as of his intention to "capture a moment that people can't always see." Some images give a striking description of surface detail on natural forms, while others reduce those forms to compelling abstract patterns. Consistent throughout the series is the technical refinement that distinguishes Callahan's style and that has secured his place among the foremost American photographers of the twentieth century.

Exquisite little book.

By Gary D. Saretzky on May 11, 2012

Format: Hardcover

Nature While this is a small book, the selection of images and the printing are excellent. Callahan liked to make contact prints, even from 2 1/4 negatives and seeing his images small makes me think about how he enjoyed their tone and texture. The images are accompanied by interesting quotes, some by Callahan. I only wish the texts were printed in darker ink; the gray ink is a bit hard to read.

Disappointed

By EarlGrey on April 9, 2012

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

I am a big fan of Harry Callahan's photography, so I was really looking forward to getting this book. However,there is not enough substance in the way of pages, text or images in this book, to make it worth buying. The images that are included are very small. I would not have purchased this book if I had seen it before buying.
