Windows: A Feast For The Eye And The Imagination
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
In Windows, inquisitive cameras of many photographers study windows around the world. The scrutiny of their lenses reveals windows richly encrusted with history and windows that look towards the future. There are windows that jealously guard privacy and windows that strive to dissolve the barriers that divide the world from the viewer. Delicately-wrought marble laces grace the window of an Indian temple; handcarved wooden shutters guard a peasant's home in Siberia; piles of fish in a Dutch fishmonger's window suggest prosperity in an orderly world; another window is eloquent comment on the broken dream of a restauranteur in London. There is a glimpse of hidden worlds and private corners as the photographers gaze into some windows; there are sweeping vistas or small enchanted spaces are the camera surveys the view from others. More than one hundred and fifty magnificent photographs in full color, complemented by a perceptive and thoughtful text from Val Clery, examine from many aspects the looking-in/looking-out dichotomy of windows and provide a feast for the eye and the imagination. Windows by Val Clery. Photographs by Gordon Beck, Bill Brooks, John de Visser, Jennifer Harper, Henry Less, Bill McLaughlin, Wim Noordhoek, Peter Paterson, Murray Sumner, and Richard Vroom. Published by Penguin 1979. 163pp. Paperback. Book condition: Poor - fading and discoloration to covers, a little damage to edge of first few pages, with heavy foxing to page edges and endpapers. Tightly bound.
