Jan Henle: Topographical Film Drawings

Buffalo, New York: Albright-Knox Art Gallery, 1988. First edition. Hardcover. vg. 1/500. Folio. Unpaginated. Tan cloth in original dj. Minor staining to free front endpaper. "This is not simply drawing as a form of photographic impression. Rather, Henle defines drawing in a provocatively broad manner, encompassing not only a unique means of marking (the land pieces represented here have actually been painstakingly worked with plow and shovel by the artist), but drawing as a function of unusually oblique sight lines that distill the landscape into a dynamic set of contours and spatial planes". Illustrated with full page b/w photographs as well as one color photo. In fine condition.
