Description:Herald, 1993. Hard cover, 99 pp.Text in English and Hungarian. Color photography throughout. [From introduction] The American West is more than it is metaphor and myth as well as place, a landscape of spirit as well as rock and water. "Going west" means going to open spaces of imagination and freedom, to places without fences or barriers to the soul. It means encounters with a wilderness of dramatic contrasts and dazzling extremes that stretch our abilities and comprehension; and the spiritual renewal that comes in the silence of wild and lonely places, alone with the land and the open that seems to arch overhead in an endless sweep of blue. Millions visit the American West each year, but millions more ? including many Americans - know only the images found in movies and television advertisements. Writers and artists have used the landscape as a character so often that icons such as the Grand Canyon or the saguaro cactus are instantly recognized as "western," and it is almost impossible to describe the land without cliches. But even the most gross commercialization cannot diminish the grandeur of the West. The limits, if any, are put by the viewer overwhelmed finally by the awesome scenery and the irony of signs that announce "view point." The view is everywhere...Photographer Tamas Révész followed the sun from the high Rockies to the fog-shrouded Pacific coast. showing the West through the eyes of a contemporary European explorer encountering the land for the first the Grand Canyon illuminated like a gigantic paper lantern; the snag-toothed mesa of sky-high Acoma, New Mexico; the single bold statement of Oregon's Crater Lake, set like a sapphire in the bowl of an extinct volcano. His images celebrate the land and praise the beauty of the West of open air.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
