Full Description
Beate Gütschow: LS/S, the first monograph of this exceptional artist, features two bodies of work that compel the viewer to think about humankind's celebration of nature and our ceaseless desire to control it. In these luscious, digitally produced photographs each detail, including the subtle nuances of the palette and light, is carefully controlled, culled from an archive of images taken specifically for use in these seamless collages. Every blade of grass, pebble, and nonchalant passerby has been painstakingly orchestrated by the artist, who draws on the work and traditions of Romantic-era painters and photo legends Lewis Baltz and Bernd and Hilla Becher.
