Ralph Gibson, Light Years. Engl. Ausgabe.: Catalogue for the exhibition at the Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt/Main - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This volume presents the 92 most significant pictorial compositions of Ralph Gibson. Based upon an unusual black-and-white technique, his photography is metaphorical rather than documentary.
The contents of Gibson's pictures are difficult to grasp, often even mysterious. Some compositions seem characterized by unusual control, structure and clarity, while others are opulent, seductive and full of hidden meanings. His often fragmentary figures draw the viewer's attention to the design and composition of the pictorial details. The organic structure of such pictures clearly suggest that their origins are by no means random. With great precision and without sentimentality Gibson succeeds in making his "message" comprehensible.
