Title: Aaron Rose
Description: "Aaron Rose has created one of the most remarkable bodies of work of any photographer living today, and for most of his career he did this in isolation from both the art world and the world of commercial photography, in a single-minded private quest for visual enlightenment. He was virtually unknown to the photography world until five of his prints were exhibited at the Whitney Biennial in 1997, when he was in his late fifties.".

"Rose's images - completely original visions of trees and plants; sun, stars, and clouds; shells; the New York skyline - are miracles of light and chemistry. A magician who builds his own cameras and mixes complex developing emulsions incorporating exotic metals, Rose has spent virtually every working day for thirty years taking and printing more than 25,000 photographs, most of them superb prints from negatives that he printed once or twice and then put away forever.

This book offers the first-ever presentation of Rose's work, accompanied by an essay by distinguished poet Alfred Corn and a vivid conversation between the two men, in which Rose speaks directly about photography, science, art, and commitment."--BOOK JACKET.
