Description:
'Burtynsky's visions are often ravishing: optical vibrations, hypnotically immersive.' - Simon Schama
Published on the occasion of Edward Burtynsky's 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 Burtynsky's compelling photographs, the book includes texts by celebrated art historian Simon Schama, who examines Burtynsky's 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 photographer's achievements as technician, journalist and artist.
Extraction / Abstraction presents a dichotomy of Burtynsky's 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more than 130 color plates, the book furthermore has a special section, the "Process Archive," featuring previously unpublished, behind-the-scenes photographs of Burtynsky at work on the ground and in the air throughout his career.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 artist's 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 augmen

Father and son both have a great imagination
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I think Little Fox showed his father, Poppa Fox that he also some great imagination in this cute picture book by Jorma Taccone. I had to laugh as I read this book as I could totally relate to how Poppa Fox felt. As a parent, or just a human being, you feel like you’re doing the right thing, having fun and then bam, you’re thinking aww, what just happened?
I thought it was sweet when Poppa Fox played pretend with Little Fox on their way home from school. Having a rough day at school, Little Fox needed something to make him happy again and his father was doing just that. Using father’s imagination, the two of them, pretended to be race cars as they raced off to the bus stop. As the night wore on, this game of pretend continued, only now Little Fox was getting more involved. What started out as a fun, friendly game was now turning violent, messy and involved, leaving Poppa Fox picking up the pieces.
I liked how the book progressed from a fun friendly game to an intense involved event. I think the illustrations fit perfectly with the text as you could see this transformation and the drama unfolded right before your eyes. The text fonts were great too as they varied in sizes, shapes and colors depending on the situation. I enjoyed Poppa Fox patience as he handled the situation with his son, Little Fox. I had to laugh when Little Fox wanted his father to read to him 5,000 books before he went to bed. Now, wouldn’t that be a nice library for a child to have in their house? There is some violence in the book as they play pretend, so you may want to consider this, if that bothers you but it is pretend. I thought this was a fun, entertaining read and I highly recommend it.
