A Breath of fresh airBy Stuart MurdochLiz Wells book about landscape is a breath of fresh air. in this day and age of photographic image saturation. she clearly articulates the imprudent belief of the photograph in western culture.Beginning with painting and early representation of the land from socio-political perspectives she argues that a photograph of the landscape isnt all that it appears. it is often a greater sum of its parts and is an important part of western art and culture.A great read. especially if like me you are out and about making pictures of the land around. as land does indeed matter.
