Spanish Summer

Spanish Summer - For more than three decades, Gerry Johansson has worn his insightful and sensitive look at peripheral landscapes around the world, from Ulaanbaatar to Antarctica. With The Spanish Summer, he returns to one of the first places that captured his imagination: the plains of central Spain. The chapel remained etched in Johansson's memory and, decades later, prompted him to return and rediscover the heritage architectural, religious significance and the beauty of the country. These images constitute a study of a landscape in which thousands of years of traces cultural have been deposited. The rigorous composition and the delicate Johansson's black and white tones reveal an ephemeral territory where Telephone wires transcend age-old crucifixes, where modern plaster meets the stone worn by time and where the shadows of the megaliths industrialists blindly walk through the dust. \n \nFirst edition, first print, in mint condition.
