For more than three decades, Gregory Crewdson has been luring viewers into the world of his cinematic, highly detailed and carefully crafted photographs. This retrospective catalog features images from nine series representing a wide chronological spectrum of Crewdson"s work.
Included are excerpts from Twilight, eerie and often darkly humorous photographs inspired by Steven Spielberg"s "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"; Under the Roses, which illuminates urban landscapes, forest glades and wide deserted streets with alarming clarity; black-and-white images of the Sanctuary, shot at the legendary Cinecittа studio on the outskirts of Rome; The Pine Cathedral, a celebration of the beauty and tragedy of a rugged western Massachusetts town; and the Evening Side, in which moments of alienation and wonder occur within the confines of everyday life. This exhibition catalog, containing the highest quality reproductions, a change of paper and sharp essays by photography expert Walter Moser and other respected art historians, shows why Crewdson"s powerful, elegiac and painterly photographs are compared to old master paintings, staged photography and original cinema.
