Eliot Porter: In the Realm of Nature
"If you own only one Eliot Porter book, this is the one to have." --The Online Photographer"For the last several decades landscape photographers have concentrated on showing man's depredations of nature, but their pictures only take on meaning when set against the images of untrammeled beauty by artists such as Porter." --The Wall Street Journal"This retrospective from the Getty Museum reviews Porter's career, from his early days as a black-and-white photographer, in the school of Edward Weston and Ansel Adams, to his path-breaking color photography, breathtaking in its attention to subtleties of tone and texture." --Natural History"[Porter's] images are rich and saturated with movement and detail, qualities that this book by Getty curator Martineau honors by simply getting out of the way.... A brief introduction, white space, short captions, and an emphasis on quality reproduction let the artist's work stand for itself."—Publishers Weekly
