Los Angeles Spring

4.4/5 ( ratings)

Los Angeles Spring. Photographs by Robert Adams. Adams indicts the human despoliation of what was once a virtual Eden. Seldom has the camera been used to such potent effect, both as an instrument of protest and as a conveyer of beauty. 50 blackandwhite duotone photographs. "The Los Angeles he reveals here abounds in attenuated beauty, with eucalyptus, palm and orange trees holding out against the forces of asphalt and concrete. As in all of Mr. Adams work, the pictures have an idiosyncratic beauty and they serve as partial solace for the disharmonies they depict." Andy Grundberg, The New York Times Book Review

Language: English
