Beschreibung

Stunning example of digital photography at its finest. You will not get this out of your SLR very easily. Flach has produced work at the highest level of art. Where today's flash Harry's yob about all over the world's art galleries, and get proclaimed as geniuses for producing some pretty rancid 'art', this guy quietly illumines the true quest of the artist, which is to reveal the wonder of the world about us. His work is humbling. It is original and sometimes overwhelming, as great art should be. This massive and heavy book is a brilliant production. And this copy has the signature of the photographer on the title page, signed especially at the opening of his new show in London's Mayfair. Utterly brilliant. This heavy book it will need extra postage depending on destination. Language: eng.

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Since the wolf first snuck into the caves of our ancestors to take warmth from the fire, dogs have been man's constant companion. Dogs, multi-award-winning photographer Tim Flach's stunning follow-up to the critically acclaimed Equus, delves deep into the psyche of this enduring bond with Canis familiaris to present an exquisite study of "man's best friend."

From specimens on show at Crufts and Westminster to shelter dogs lovingly rescued by volunteers; from the grace and agility of racing greyhounds to adored domestic companions; from Afghan hounds to Hungarian komondors to Chinese crested, the images featured in Dogs promise to deliver one of the most appealing, popular, and exciting photographic tributes to dogs ever published.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Tim Flach studied fine art at Central St. Martin's College of Art and Design and emerged with a fascination for photography, which has since led to numerous commissions, awards, solo exhibitions and a presence in permanent collections and publications around the world. He is best known for the originality that he brings to capturing animal behaviour and characteristics. In this, he is often exploring the close relationship between animals and humans, in particular how humanity imposes and reveals its ideals when trying to understand and work with animals.
