Presents Corey Arnold's "Fish-Work". Evocatively beautiful photographs of life at sea. "Having survived several seasons afloat these icy and unforgiving waters, we are lucky that Arnold has taken time to document his artistic impressions of this rare lifestyle and extended us a vicarious glimpse" (Publisher's blurb). A fisherman by profession, Corey Arnold is the contemporary embodiment of what it means to be The Real Thing: His photographs of perilous "fish-work", instead of yet another post-modern "concept-work", are about life as something large, deep, and true, and about art as more life. Arnold's work has been exhibited worldwide and appeared in Juxtapoz Photo, Esquire, The Sunday Telegraph, Rolling Stone, Outside, and The Paris Review. As Juxtapoz Photo points out, it is part of a New Movement in photography towards "intriguing freshness and outsider perspectives" through "provocative lenswork, ground-breaking camera angles, intense and often irreverent subject matter, moody and vibrant colors, and intimate portraiture". That is to say, it aims to go beyond the self-absorption, sterility, and emptiness that have characterized post-modern photography. An absolute "must-have" title for Corey Arnold collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed in black pen on the half-title page by Corey Arnold. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is now collectible. This is one of few such signed copies of the First Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. A rare signed copy thus. 47 color plates. One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER COREY ARNOLD TITLE IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 1590053060.
