Book Reviews of Gregory Crewdson: Fireflies
Book Review: Just a lovely and peaceful book
Summary: 4 Stars
There are some wonderful images here that take you to those summer nights of youth. It's fun to see the night lit up with fireflies, seeing the patterns nature creates.
There are some images that really don't do it for me. Pretty much black images with little flicks of white. I mean, I get what is happening in these shots, but it still doesn't translate to book form. Oh well, unto every picnic, a little rain must fall.
This book is now rare and very expensive. I don't know if you should spend the money to own a copy. I don't even know if the book warrants the price. I've got bigger fish to fry.
The interesting thing about this book is how different it is from Crewdson's other work. I'm too tired to get into that.
So, suffice to say, I love this book. I bought at the normal price of $45 and wouldn't pay what other people are asking.
Summary of Gregory Crewdson: Fireflies
In the summer of 1996, Gregory Crewdson spent two solitary months at his family's cabin in Becket, Massachusetts. Using both small- and medium-format cameras, he obsessively photographed the fireflies that came alive at dusk each evening. Crewdson was drawn to the flickering lights, in part, by the underlying impossibility of capturing their elusive beauty in pictures. This luxurious volume, featuring 61 full-page tritone reproductions, calls to mind many of the hallmarks of Crewdson's oeuvre, from the sense of wonder in the nocturnal landscape, to the focus on light as a narrative event, to the fascination with nature as a psychological mystery. Although consistent in terms of their subject matter, these photographs demonstrate a wide scope of visual expression ranging from almost pure abstraction to more idyllic representations of the natural landscape.Collections, Catalogues & Exhibitions Books
