[ebooks] When I Left Home: My Story by Buddy Guy in Arts-Photography

Description

In this major work on landscape photography; extensively illustrated in colour and black white; Liz Wells is concerned with the ways in which photographers engage with issues about land; its representation and idealisation. She demonstrates how the visual interpretation of land as landscape reflects and reinforces contemporary political; social and environmental attitudes. She also asks what is at stake in landscape photography now through placing critical appraisal of key examples of work by photographers working in; for example; the USA; in Europe; Scandinavia and Baltic areas; within broader art historical and political concerns. This illuminating book will interest readers in photography and media; geography; art history and travel; as well as those concerned with environmental issues.
