Rick Canham
Canyon de Chelly, Arizona Desert Landscape - Limited Edition Color Photograph

1994

About the Item

An epic desert landscape photograph of Canyon de Chelly by Rick Canham (American, 20th Century). Titled "There is Purity and Strength Here" lower left. Numbered 54/250 limited edition print. Signed R. Canham lower right. Presented in a giltwood frame. Rick graduated from San Jose State University in 1973 with an BFA in ceramic art, and has been working exclusively with the camera for over forty years. His work has been shown throughout the United States, and much of Europe. His works are a result from a combination of technical competence, forty years of experience, and hard work. Rick has trained himself over the years to see well, and to get to extraordinary places at the right time of day, with the appropriate film for the effects he wants to create. Mr. Canham takes unusual measures to assure a sharp, properly exposed negative, and is in control of the process from beginning to end. Rick's formal art education was in a three-dimensional media and a strong sense of composition in two dimensions is apparent in his work. The images follow three major stylistic directions, of course with considerable overlap: the Abstracts are studies in form, light, and color of natural features; the Minimalist Landscapes tend to be stark, dramatic, and simple; the Impressions are soft, emotive, often shot on a foggy day. What ties his images together is that they are unusual, and they are composed and executed in a painterly fashion. Newer images from mostly south Asia include people and ancient architecture. Among the things he hopes are apparent to the viewer is his deep respect and reverence for the phenomena of our natural environment.
