Description
Arthur Tress Rambles, Dreams, and Shadows is a richly illustrated volume that offers a critical look at the early career of Arthur Tress, a key proponent of magical realism in postwar American photography. This collection contextualises Tress's highly imaginative work, including his seminal series The Dream Collector, while also examining other interrelated series such as Appalachia: People and Places, Open Space in the Inner City, Shadow, and Theater of the Mind. Tress's transition from earning a living as a social documentarian to producing surreal work is explored through an abundance of archival materials, including ephemera, personal correspondence, unpublished notes, diaries, contact sheets, and more. This volume provides a fuller understanding of Tress's development as a photographer, shedding light on the creative decisions behind his highly imaginative and fantastical images. The result is a comprehensive and visually stunning exploration of Arthur Tress's early career, making this book an essential resource for anyone interested in photography, magical realism, or the work of this influential artist.
