Edward Burtynsky: Extraction / Abstraction by Edward Burtynsky Hardcover Book

Description: Edward Burtynsky: Extraction / Abstraction by Edward Burtynsky, Marc Mayer, Simon Schama Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Burtynskys visions are often ravishing: optical vibrations, hypnotically immersive. - Simon SchamaPublished on the occasion of Edward Burtynskys largest and most comprehensive exhibition to date, at the Saatchi Gallery, London, Extraction / Abstraction looks deeply at the key subjects and signature images spanning his 45-year career. Alongside Burtynskys compelling photographs, the book includes texts by celebrated art historian Simon Schama, who examines Burtynskys work in light of the question "Can art help save the world?", and by curator Marc Mayer, former director of the National Gallery of Canada, who provides an overview of the photographers achievements as technician, journalist and artist.Extraction / Abstraction presents a dichotomy of Burtynskys image-making imperative: the lucid and informed documentation of large-scale extractive processes, and how he transforms the landscapes of industry into complete abstractions. Other essential themes in his oeuvre such as agriculture, manufacturing, infrastructure and waste also find their rightful place here. With more than 130 color plates, the book furthermore has a special section, the "Process Archive," featuring previously unpublished, behind-the-scenes photographs of Burtynsky at work on the ground and in the air throughout his career. The archive provides a glimpse into the artists progression through the evolution of the medium itself, from mid twentieth-century large-format analogue (film-based) cameras, through to twenty-first-century high-resolution digital technologies, including explorations into photogrammetry and augmented reality. Author Biography Edward Burtynsky is regarded as one of the worlds most accomplished contemporary photographers. Since the early 1980s Burtynskys imagery has explored the collective impact we as a species are exerting on the environment. Renowned for his sustained investigation of the "indelible human signature" caused by industrial incursions into the landscape, previous projects have explored mining, quarrying, manufacturing, agriculture, shipping, the production of oil, and the development of China. In addition, he has made three award-winning films with director Jennifer Baichwal, Manufactured Landscapes (2006), Watermark (2013) and Anthropocene: The Human Epoch (2018). Burtynskys books with Steidl are China (2005), Quarries (2007), Oil (2009), Water (2013), Salt Pans (2016), Anthropocene (2018), Natural Order (2020) and African Studies (2023).
