Description
Joel Sternfeld's Nags Head is a personal and introspective exploration of color theory in his photography. In 1975, facing surgery, Sternfeld embarked on a summer of self-discovery in the seaside town of Nags Head, North Carolina, capturing its beauty through vibrant color.
The photographs from this period reveal Sternfeld's fascination with Josef Albers' Interaction of Color and his commitment to using color as the basis for photographic expression. However, the experience was also marked by loss, as Sternfeld's brother passed away during his stay. This tragedy ultimately led to a breakthrough in his work, as he found solace in the fusion of colors in Rockaway Beach, Queens.
The resulting photographs showcase Sternfeld's evolution as an artist and his pursuit of capturing the essence of color through light and composition. Nags Head is a poignant and visually striking monograph that offers a unique glimpse into the creative process of one of America's most respected photographers.
