About the Item
"Tulip Poplars #1, Lilburn, GA" is a nocturne photograph of an urban tree featuring hues of green, orange and purple. This listing is for a framed print. Additional unframed sizes are available.
Peter Essick is inspired by the work of Walker Evans, Ray Metzker, Ansel Adams and David Hockney.
Peter Essick is a photographer and author who specializes in nature and environmental themes. His goal is to make photographs that move beyond mere documentation to reveal the human impact of development as well as the enduring power of the land. His most recent series, “Sleeping Trees,” documents Atlanta’s urban trees at night. Situated on the Piedmont plateau of the Eastern United States, Metro Atlanta is known as a “City in a Forest.” Atlanta was settled later than port cities such as New York, Philadelphia and Washington DC and its canopy reflects a more recent, and until a few decades ago, less dense development. Residents of Atlanta are living in the remnants of an old-growth forest.
Scientific researchers have recently discovered that trees in a forest can communicate with other trees through their roots, sense their environment, and “sleep” at night by relaxing their branches. In the best-selling book, The Hidden Life of Trees, Peter Wohlleben describes a fascinating “social life” of trees in old-growth forests in Germany where he has conducted research. In contrast, he describes urban trees as the “street kids” of the forest. Older urban trees have usually been orphaned by surrounding development and subjected to pruning and pollution that has stunted their growth. Younger planted trees near sidewalks or buildings suffer from a life in poor soils and lack of space to grow their roots. The photographs in “Sleeping Trees” aspire to be both documents and metaphors of the fragile existence of nature in the urban environment.
Essick is the author of three monographs, “The Ansel Adams Wilderness,” “Our Beautiful, Fragile World,” and “Fernbank Forest.” Essick has photographed stories for National Geographic on many environmental issues, including climate change, high-tech trash, nuclear waste and freshwater. Essick’s photographs are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia and the Booth Western Art Museum.

Artist statement:
Nature provides the perfect model of beauty, according to Plato and Socrates. In the classical period, something was considered beautiful because it existed in nature; art was secondary. In the 18th Century, the German philosopher Johann Joachim Winckelmann argued against the idea that art imitates life, believing that qualities superior to nature are found in art, specifically, ideal beauty, and “brain-born images”. Neoclassical thought represented that art need not serve any end other than its own existence. For me, beauty is an ideal, nature is real, and art comes from the brain.
I take pictures in nature, finding shifting, disparate, and beautiful landscapes. I develop my pictures of trees...
