Seller's Description:
Like New in Very Good jacket. In Near Fine condition, with a Very Good dustjacket (some light edgewear). In original Near Fine slipcase box. The Big Bend Country is the most spectacular, rugged, remote part of Texas. It is a harsh and unforgiving landscape, filled with wide open-spaces, volcanic badlands, deep limestone canyons and mountains that float in the shimmering heat of the Chihuahaun Desert. The terrain climbs from the parched creosote ridges near the Rio Grande River to an oasis of juniper and pine in the high mountain valleys. The light in the Big Bend varies from the harsh, oppressive glare of midday to the magical glow of twilight that transforms jagged mesa ridges into luminous sentinels and distant mountains into receding layers of purple-grey. This classic book on the Big Bend combines the work of photographer Richard Fenker and the poetry of Dobie Award winner, Sandra Lynn. The stunning photographs transform our "seeing" from a straightforward, direct experience of the mountains and canyons to a more compelling, subjective experience. The poems create their own distinct images of the Big Bend, calling all of our senses and emotions into play. Richard Fenker is a photographer and author who lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Fort Davis, Texas. His strongest artistic influences were Picasso, Georgia O'Keefe and Ansel Adams. "My vision of the southwestern landscape was formed in the early 1970's as I explored---and attempted to photograph---the Big Bend area of Texas. What I experienced in person was a subtle, transcendental space, almost a boundary, between one reality and another waiting to appear at the end of the day. What I experienced on film, however, was the harsh bluntness of shapes, contrasts and colors that speak to the directness and toughness of life in a desert environment."
