"William Carlos Williams once said there were "no ideas but in things." The Imagist Poets wrote in common rather than exalted language, and described the particular characteristics of the small things they found in the world as objects of wonder. The images they render are uninflected, the verses clear and clean, and without sentiment. Like Wessel they are radical and modest., they both use the most essential means to construct their art, and in doing so redirect a way of making art,. It might be said that Williams and Wessel both describe the marvelous with apparent impersonality." (Phillips). Beautifully illustrated with 133 plates of Wessel's distinct b/w and fourteen color photographs.… Leer más

This retrospective look at the career of Henry Wessel, one of the late twentieth century's most original and dryly funny photographers, tracks his contribution to the New Topographics movement of the 1970s and continues through more than 30 years of incisive observations on the American social landscape. In 133 photographs, it offers up a range of work from the earliest in the 1960s to a recent series on Las Vegas, made between 2000 and 2004.
