Counterpoint

Nearly a decade after the publication of The Architect's Brother, the ParkeHarrisons present their seond title which revisits themes explored in the first book including man's destruction and healing of the planet. Shot in color, the photographs also utilize the ParkeHarrisons' early technique of applying pigment by hand, directly to their lasrge-scale prints. Robert ParkeHarrison once again appears as the Everyman of the book's visual narrative - one who despite the will to effect change, is all too often rendered impotent and ineffectual. Also explored is the "epic landscape" as metaphor for the state of humankind, i.e., recent disasters & their aftermaths. 32 4-color plates. 72p.
