Product Description

Product Description
The goal of this publication is a fully-retrospective presentation of the work of Ray K. Metzker, one of the most important and original American photographers of the second half of the twentieth century. The book, with more than 200 high-quality reproductions, features all aspects of his prolific career of more fifty years which still shows no sign of abating. Well-known and much-exhibited in the United States, Metzker is inexplicably less well-known outside the States. This retrospective survey encompasses the full range of Metzkers brilliant, constantly evolving, formal language. Although Metzker has photographed in Europe on several occasions, he has never felt the need to travel to particularly exotic climes for inspiration. He finds it readily at hand in the neighbourhoods where he has lived principally Chicago and Philadelphia and increasingly in the domain of nature, though the vegetation he depicts in such original form might well be that of a weed-clogged vacant city lot as much as the vast open plains of the American West.

5.0 out of 5 stars Black and White Extreme, 4 Mar 2009
By Colin Wilson "Lyonheart" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An astonishing collection of Metzker's B&W photographs spanning about 5 decades. It charts his complete development and covers many styles. Each visually stunning in it's own way you may find yourself drawn to some styles more than others. I am confident that most will appeal.

High contrast black and white is the order of the day. This book pulls no punches and it will take time to work through. Metzker finds the abstract in the every day - even when working with people. There are so many quality images that you will want to linger on many pages. Well produced and printed to a high quality. This is now my favourite B&W book.
