Master landscape photographer Carr Clifton has produced the finest collection of photographs of California ever published. This very special artist's world is multi-dimensional. Beyond the geometric three and Einstein's fourth Clifton adds color, texture, and beauty as elements of inspiration and articulation. Hovering within the frames of his fine images is a consciousness which penetrates the secret lives of the material world. Labeled inanimate by the fact-deluded scientist and yet impervious to his scorn, the rocks reside in these photographs, the waters speak, and the sky is rendered as both detached and involved in the many dramas found beneath its shroud.

Master landscape photographer Carr Clifton has produced the finest collection of photographs of California ever published. This very special artist's world is multi-dimensional. Beyond the geometric three and Einstein's fourth Clifton adds color, texture, and beauty as elements of inspiration and articulation. Hovering within the frames of his fine images is a consciousness which penetrates the secret lives of the material world. Labeled inanimate by the fact-deluded scientist and yet impervious to his scorn, the rocks reside in these photographs, the waters speak, and the sky is rendered as both detached and involved in the many dramas found beneath its shroud.
We are encouraged to view the world in a grain of sand which contains in itself magnitudes. If tme, what universes does California contain? By what guide could one find the sublime moment in each of hundreds of locations? Intuition aided by research and experience are the only tools capable of producing such refined results. Clifton seeks and senses the photographic moment which can be turned into an expression of place and subject as perfect as Plato's forms and yet clearly present in the real world. We know these artistic representations to be accurate and sincere because they affect us as does the rain, wind, and light we experience ourselves. These are the special qualities of the photography of Carr Clifton.
This book uniquely represents these underlying patterns of nature. For example, Clifton discovers a hitherto unremarked resemblance between the fantail of a native palm frond and sandstone concretions. Most collections of photography are balanced geographically or thematically. Instead, the images in this book have been chosen for internal qualities. This striking and original composition is a delicate instrument which plays on the imagination and the aesthetic sensibility a symphony of diverse but harmonious melodies artfully produced and skillfully presented. And each strain contains tmth and beauty in equal measure, just as does the natural world. Vissza
