About the Item
This black-and-white photograph from the 1950s captures a solitary figure gazing over the vast, rugged landscape surrounding Lake Powell in the American Southwest. The foreground reveals arid, rocky terrain scattered with sparse vegetation, emphasizing the stark beauty of the desert environment. In the middle ground, the calm waters of the lake carve a natural path through the dry landscape, contrasting the rough textures of the cliffs and barren shores with a serene, reflective surface.
In the distance, eroded rock formations rise from the horizon, creating a sense of timelessness and grandeur in the sprawling, untouched wilderness. The photograph is a powerful study of scale, with the lone figure dwarfed by the vastness of the natural surroundings, highlighting both the solitude and majesty of the American desert landscape.
Andres, born in 1905 in Germany, began his photography career in 1920 and was one of the pioneers to use a Leica camera. His work is featured in several prestigious museums, including the Civil War Museum in Salamanca, Spain, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, and the Industrial Museum in Oberhausen, Germany. Andres was also a contributor to Edward Steichen's landmark exhibition "The Family of Man" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1951.
The print is new, a Fine Art Print on high quality paper (Hahnemühle) made by Whitewall. It comes to you in a tube.
