Saga The Journey of Arno Minkkinen Thirty-Five Years Of Photographs

"Saga" is the first major monograph of the work of Arno Minkkinen, published to accompany a series of exhibitions in the U.S. and Europe. Offering a comprehensive retrospective of this vital photographer's work, "Saga" gives new meaning to the self-portrait. Eschewing digital manipulation, Minkkinen juxtaposes his own body (and occasionally those of his family) with details in the landscape so that, in whole or in part, the human form collaborates with nature to create a work of lyrical beauty. Essays by a stellar roster of writers and scholars novelist Alan Lightman and critics A.D. Coleman and Arthur Danto explore the inner world of Minkkinen's pictures. Surreal and humorous, documentary and artful, the photographs of Arno Minkkinen leave the viewer moved and captivated.Brandow, Todd is the author of 'Saga The Journey of Arno Minkkinen Thirty-Five Years Of Photographs', published 0018 under ISBN 9780811851466 and ISBN 081185146X.
