About This Item
Santa Fe: Arena Editions, 1998.. 4to. [ca 143 pp.]. Very Good+. Hard Covers. Green cloth boards. Dust Jacket Very Good. Pages fine. Color and B&W photographic plates throughout. Casting themselves as latter-day dandies of an era gone by, the artist team of McDermott & McGough have mined the history of aesthetics as a means to illuminate the present condition of art and culture. With biting irony, and an unmistakably camp sensibility, McDermott & McGough have long employed a visual language that draws heavily from earlier movements; Romanticism, the Pre-Raphaelites, Symbolism and Decadence, and Pictorialism, to name just a few. But their work is closely tied to the present day. This, the first retrospective monograph of their photographic work, underscores the tenacity of their mission to seek a future in the past. Included are the duo's portraits, nudes, still lifes, and architectural pictures utilizing such archaic processes as gum-bichromate, cyanotype, platinum palladium, and salt printing. ISBN 10: 0965728021 ISBN 13: 9780965728027.
