About This Item
[v]+46 pages with frontispiece, maps and photographs. Square folio (12" x 11 1/2") bound in original publisher's grey cloth with silver lettering to spine and cover in original pictorial jacket. Signed by the author. First edition.
Howard Bond's black-and-white photographs abstract the rusted metal, peeling paint, and torn vinyl of weathered cars into elegant formal designs. Selective framing that eliminates context and relatively flat picture planes make his subjects sometimes resemble color field paintings, sometimes landscapes, but they always bear witness to the beauty that can be found even in unlikely places. Pared down to essentials, these striking pictures are nonetheless rich with texture and fine detail that reward a closer look.
Condition: Signed on the half title page else a fine copy in like jacket.
