Paolo Costantini, Silvio Fuso, Sandro Mescola (curators): NUOVO PAESAGGIO AMERICANO. DIALECTICAL LANDSCAPES [Fotografie di Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, William Eggleston, John Gossage, Stephen Shore]. Milano: Edizioni Electa SPA, 1987. First edition. Quarto. Text in Italian. Black paper-covered boards stamped in white. Photographically printed dust jacket. 108 pp. Color and black and white plates. Jacket lightly worn and mildly yellowed along top edge, with one tiny closed tear at spine crown. A near fine copy. Catalog of an exhibition held at the Palazzo Fortuny, Venice, April 11-July 19, 1987. Rare.10 x 11.5 hardcover book with 108 pages profusely illustrated with 75 color and black and white plates. A scarce Italian catalogue on five topographic American photographers whose work rose to the fore of contemporary photography beginning in the seventies.
Each of the photographers is represented by fifteen images -- the work of Adams, Baltz and Gossage is in black-and-white, while the Eggleston and Shore images are in color. Some of the landscapes are of nature while others interpret man-made interiors, exteriors, or scenes.
A quotation from Robert Adams explains the unifying concept: "The form the photographer records, though discovered in a split second of literal fact, is different because it implies an order beyond itself, a landscape into which all fragments, no matter how imperfect, fit perfectly."
