Book Reviews of Photographs: Twenty-Five Years
Book Review: I want another 25 years from Keith Carter
Summary: 5 Stars
Once I physically pulled myself from Keith Carter's images and read the text I found his philosophy about the importance of photographing what you have and where you are one of the most realistic, tangible and inspiring ideas I've heard. Keith Carter believes, and he's correct, his photographs of rural Texas are as powerful and as important, if not more, as the photographer who goes to the big city or abroad because he or she thinks they have to, to make important and enduring photographs. The images resonate in your head after you've finished the book. Keith Carter's got a perfect blend of idea, subject matter and technicalities. It will be with me for a long time.
Summary of Photographs: Twenty-Five Years
Keith Carter's photographs linger in the mind like images from an almost remembered dream. Evocative and haunting, they capture what Carter calls the "little askew moments" that allow viewers to see beyond the surface reality. This book brings together seventy-five photographs chosen by Carter to represent the range of his work since the 1970s. Many of the images in this book have never been published before, while others come from Carter's previous books. A. D. Coleman's introduction traces the development of Carter's work and maps his affinities with other artists and writers who are strongly influenced by the sense of place. In his own words, Keith Carter describes his maturation as a self-taught photographer in his hometown of Beaumont, Texas. He provides insights into his choice of subject matter, his methods of working, and his philosophy of what art should be and do. For the many people who have already discovered Keith Carter's photography, this book offers a visually compelling summation of his career to date. Those who have not yet had that pleasure will find it here.Artists, A-Z Books
