Los Angeles-based artist James Welling has long used abstraction to challenge the technical and conceptual boundaries of photography. In the 1980s, Welling often employed simple materials like crumpled aluminum foil, draped fabric and pastry dough. In 1992, he began the series Light Sources, the focus of this volume, which critic Carol Squiers has described as "a trope for the seductions of the quickly glimpsed, the half remembered, the partially understood, qualities that Welling wants to hold up, examine and admire without piercing the fragile surface of their own fugitive grace." While many of the objects depicted in Light Sources literally transmit light, the series also refers to the role of light in the photographic process and, indirectly, to how the human eye perceives light.
James Welling was born in 1951 in Hartford, Connecticut. A Professor of Art at UCLA, he is represented by David Zwirner in New York and Regen Projects in Los Angeles.

hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Prima edizione (First Edition). 70 fotografie in bianco e nero di James Welling . Cm 28,5x26. pp. 122. . Molto buono (Very Good). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Come gran parte del lavoro di Welling, Light Sources attinge a ricordi ed emozioni nello spettatore, riguardo all'oscurità, a strani luoghi e alla meraviglia di ciò che ci attrae per ragioni sconosciute. È un tropo per le seduzioni dello sguardo rapido, del ricordo a metà, della comprensione parziale, qualità che Welling vuole sostenere, esaminare e ammirare senza perforare la fragile superficie della loro stessa grazia fuggitiva. L'artista americano James Welling crea un lavoro che sfida i limiti tecnici e concettuali della fotografia. Nelle sue fotografie astratte degli anni '80 di solito impiegava materiali semplici, come fogli di alluminio accartocciati e tessuti drappeggiati. Poi nel 1992 ha iniziato la serie Light Sources, un insieme di ritratti, paesaggi e interni. Tutte queste fotografie si riferiscono indirettamente al processo di percezione e mentre molti degli oggetti trasmettono letteralmente la luce, la serie riconosce che tutto ciò che vediamo riflette la luce ed è anche fonte di luce.

Hardcover. Etat : New. "Like much of Welling's work Light Sources taps into memories and emotions in the viewer, about darkness, strange places, and the wonder of that which attracts us for reasons unknown. It is a trope for the seductions of the quickly glimpsed, the half remembered, the partially understood, qualities that Welling wants to hold up, examine, and admire without piercing the fragile surface of their own fugitive grace." Carol Squiers, Artforum, 1998American artist James Welling creates work which challenges the technical and conceptual bounds of photography. In his abstract photographs of the 1980s he usually employed simple materials, like crumpled aluminum foil, draped fabric and pastry dough. Then in 1992 he began the series Light Sources, an open-ended accumulation of diverse portraits, landscapes and interiors. All these photographs indirectly refer to the process of perception and while many of the objects literally transmit light, the series acknowledges that everything we see reflects light and is also a source of light.
