Other Realities [Hardcover]

When I was a photo student in the mid 70's, my teacher dutifully put several of us in his car and took us to our first real art show and artist's talk. Fortunately for me, the artist was Jerry Uelsmann. He continues to inform the current generation of students and working artists alike. His work is other-worldly in both a technical and in a conceptual sense- you will be wowed on several fronts.

This book contains recent and early work- the sensibility running through the decades is distinctly Uelsmann. Early or late, the work is masterful. Fortunately, it's a large book so you get to see these images in a scale similar to actual prints.

You need a Jerry Uelsmann book in your library and this is a great volume.
