Joel Meyerowitz is a photographer born in New York in 1938. Known as a pioneer of color street photography, he is highly regarded as one of the leading figures in contemporary photography for his subtle depictions of everyday light and the passage of time.
This book brings together photographs of flowers that Meyerowitz has taken over many years. Best known for his images of streets and landscapes, Meyerowitz turns here toward the quiet presence of nature close at hand.
Rather than treating flowers simply as plants, the book presents them as vessels for light, color, and the passage of time. Through delicate gradations of color and rich detail, it reveals the artist’s exceptional powers of observation and his ongoing exploration of color photography. The beautiful printing by Super Labo is also one of the book’s great appeals.
