Beauty is Nothing - Emmet Gowin
From the press release:
Gowin studied under photographer Harry Callahan, who became one of his mentors and greatest influences.These photographs were taken in the United States, Mexico, Czechoslovakia, Asia and the Middle East, they document the physical impact of pivot irrigation, military weapons testing, natural resource mining and more. Like the work of his contemporaries Richard Misrach and Edward Burtynsky, Gowin’s photographs study the landscape and man’s complex relationship to it. His richly hand-toned silver gelatin prints have been characterized as “immorally gorgeous.”
