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.

Jeff Nixon began photographing in the late 1960's, and by the end of the millennium had acquired an impressive list of credentials; many years as a year round resident of Yosemite Valley, noted instructor in the techniques of black and white photography which he gleaned from his years of working with Ansel Adams, and learning the Zone System from the master himself.

  • Sierra Mountain Reflections - Black & White Landscape Photograph
    By Robert Werling
    Located in Soquel, CA
    Stunning black & white landscape photograph with trees reflecting in water in the Sierra Nevada mountains by California artist Robert Werling. Signed on mat lower right: "Bob Werling." Presented in a silver metal frame. Image, 15"H x 19"W. Robert Werling was born in San Francisco, California in 1946 and realized an interest in art at an early age. While briefly attending a commercial art school, he found photography to be his medium and went on to obtain both a BA and an honorary MS from the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, CA. He also studied privately under Ansel Adams from 1966 to 1970 and Imogen Cunningham from 1969 to 1975. Through his affiliation with Adams, Werling came to know and work with other noted photographers. Brett Weston became his close friend and mentor and Marion Post Wolcott, relying on his darkroom expertise, entrusted her negatives to his printing genius. While creating an impressive number of his own fine art prints, Werling also lectured extensively and worked as an instructor for the Brooks Institute, the University of California, Santa Barbara, the Zone System Seminars and Workshops in the United States, and for the Werkschule fur Fotografie in Soltau, Germany. Werling has exhibited his photographs in over sixty one-man and group shows in both the United States and Europe. He was guest curator of photography for the Santa Barbara Museum of Art organizing VIVO, the Contemporary Japanese Photography and Brett Weston’s photographs...
