- Summary:
- Barbara Jaffe explores the expressive possibilities in the negative print. Using her 4-by-5-inch view camera and black-and-white film, she makes photographs that are mysterious and transcendent. This book comprises two bodies of work: Dark Sun and Forest of Ghosts. All are negative prints. [...] In his insightful essay accompanying the work, art scholar and critic Lyle Rexer writes, "Jaffe chooses and stages her subjects so that perceptual ambiguity becomes more prominent the longer we look, until we understand that we have entered, literally, another visual dimension." [...] Barbara Jaffe has carved out for herself a unique position in the history of photography, exploring in great depth the potential of the negative print. Her work has been widely exhibited and is in the collection of many museums, most notably the Museum of Modern Art in New York."-- Book jacket.
