"Ray Metzker has repeatedly pushed an idea or a technique to the extreme, discovering its limits and its potential. With the conclusion of each of these forays to the edge, he has changed course dramatically. "Metzker titles and groups his images based on their location or technique. Collectively his various series represent an artistic vision that merges the realities of modern life with the intrinsic expressive possibilities of the photographic medium...n the mid-1980s, Metzker turned from the city as subject to the natural landscape. These works combined selective focus with a newly luminous tonal palette and a visual or compositional density"--Getty Museum
