description: Don Kirby grew up turning the surface of the earth upside down the son of a sharecropper in northwestern Missouri. A half century later he has emerged as the preeminent photographer of wheat country a master of both his medium and chosen subject matter. Kirby's sweeping geometric photographs of wheatfields in the American Northwest manage to convey both a sense of wonder and a deep understanding of the land - our dependence on it for our survival and its own survival of the uses and abuses we impose upon it. The artist's first monograph Wheatcountry is printed in a first edition of 2000 casebound copies. The forty plates are beautifully printed in duotone on matt art paper...-the publisher.
