Description
Heading:
Author: Sexton, John
Title: Mud Cracks, Death Valley, CA 1980
Place Published: Monterey, CA
Publisher:
Date Published: 1980
Description:
Signed and dated by John Sexton on mount recto. Photographer's stamp with title, location and dates on verso. "The colossal landscape is rarely seen in John Sexton's work. The images of great spaces made by Watkins and O'Sullivan are concerned with surveying; they are about political and spiritual ownership, or even about transcendence of the particular. But John Sexton arrives at the same places with a different message and for another purpose. One can see Sexton, prowling river banks, valley marshes, and the corners of open fields, looking for poetic confirmations of texture and dappled light with an armature of structure to hold the idea together. Sexton composes on a human scale. He generally works within a space that a person could pace off in a few minutes. These are intimacies, places of resonance, and havens for poetic revelation." Arthur Ollman, "Nourished by Stone and Water" in John Sexton's Recollections. Provenance: From a Los Angeles-based Collection.
