| Synopsis: |
This book represents the culmination of David Grant Noble's forty-year career as a fine arts photographer and writer. It features seventy-five black-and-white photographs of the land, people, and deep past of the Southwest, most published here for the first time. Accompanying these beautiful images are personal reflections interwoven with historical and anthropological information. The moving passages reveal much about both the man and the magnificent land that inspires his artistry. "The places we know," Noble writes, "can be infused with memory and spirit, and landscapes can have soul. The stories contained may speak of creation, gods, mythic monsters, and heroes. They may hold narratives reminding us of triumphs and defeats, sorrows and joys. A place is more than a landform or an ecosystem; it has the capacity to evoke emotion, transmit knowledge and wisdom, and even show people how to live." These photographs and words portray the land's soul, the artist's vision. Through them, the ancient landscapes and peoples of the Southwest tell their tales, display their beauty, remind us that we are only the most recent of many who have lived and been inspired here. |
