Seeing - A Photographic Voyage of Discovery and Delight
Craftsman House, Seaforth, Australia, 1987. Brown hard cover with embossed front and gilt titles on spine. Contents tight with no inscriptions. Just a touch of foxing to the pre-title page. Dust jacket is also tidy with some surface scratches.
This unique and experimental book presents photographs of familiar objects - textures in stone and steel, details of rendered walls and graffiti, metal shavings and mottled paint surfaces - oerceived in a remarkable and unusual way. Often reminiscent of modern abstract paintings, Gordon Andrew's photographs alert us to the designs inherent both in nature and in man's world, and the intriguing interplay between the two. Seeing is a book which will be of considerable interest to graphic designers, photographers, painters and students everywhere.
