DESCRIPTION:
He may use vintage postcards as the starting point for landscape compositions, borrow from the rhetoric of outdoor recreation in his wordplay, or invoke the writings of someone like Henry David Thoreau. In this unique and very personal volume, Wegman considers his artistic formation and with great sophistication examines his relationship to place, creatively incorporating some of the books and materials that are at the root of his aesthetic. Throughout his work he looks to nature and its treatments in both popular culture and the arts for inspiration. Complete with the artist's commentary, texts by the exhibition curators, and a piece of short fiction by award-winning author Padgett Powell, Hello Nature provides a marvelous immersion, in image, written word, and design, into what can only be described as Wegman's world.. Perhaps best known for his photography and videos, particularly of his dogs, William Wegman is also an accomplished painter, draftsman, and writer, and an avid outdoorsman
"This isn't a good " coffee table " book but it gives more" according to Kitty mae. If you are a fan of WW, this book is very intersting . Wish there was more detail about his life but what was there was very interesting . The photos are somewhat different than his usual . This isn't a good " coffee table " book but it gives more insight into his life and thoughts. I enjoyed it.. Mary K. Kemmer said Five Stars. This book is so artful and nostalgic. I keep it on my coffee table to share.
"Wegman's work is given context outside of the celebrity buzz that dressed-up dogs have earned him. In short, the book is an honest look at the artist and the naturalist." - Cool Hunting
