Book Reviews of OXBOW ARCHIVE
Book Review: Beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
Joel Sternfeld's monograph book Oxbow Archive embodies exactly what I want to see in photography. It was like Joel Sternfeld rummaged through my photographic thoughts and came up with the perfect collection of photographs. Sternfeld has created these simple, tranquil, cloudy, cold landscapes of the east coast. There are forests, meadows, cornfields, river banks, snowscapes, wildflowers, and so on. Every photograph has this isolation to it... All the images appear secluded and are so much about the simplicity and beauty of nature and change. The colors are all soft; lots of dark greens, muted yellows, light browns and murky blues, they make you feel like you have to whisper. I love landscape photography, and I love tranquil nature -- not like Ansel Adams work, but more so the quiet everyday nature, and Sternfeld tackles this vision beautifully. They are epic in their understatedness. The wildflowers blended with massive clouds -- something that could be viewed as "everyday," becomes transcendent when looked through his lense. These photographs demonstrate something nostalgic, as if the landscape has never changed. While mountain ranges have stayed untouched, so have these small river banks that are no longer recognized. His relationship to nature, American landscape and seasonal change are inspiring.
