desertcart.com: Sebastião Salgado. GENESIS: 9783836538725: Salgado, Sebastiao, Salgado, Lelia Wanick: Books

Review: AN AMAZING EXHIBITION OF PHOTOGRAPHIC ART - The Sebastião Salgado Genesis Hardcover Book was purchased during September of 2023 for the price of $18.39 plus tax. It is now avaialble for the price of $11.29 plus tax (Novemeber 22, 2024). It's not really just to compare the work of artists, in my opinion. However, when one views the works presented in this book, someone knowledgeable about the world of great photography would be hard pressed not to think of the work of Ansel Adams. However, the excellence of Salgado's printing technique is absolutely incomparable. Most people think of black and white photography as being reminiscent of a time during which color photography did not exist. Although that may historically accurate, there's no doubt that these black and white prints are beyond superlative in their richness of definition, their variance of tone, being almost infinite in gradation, and thoroughly mesmerizing in detail. I purchased 2 of these books as gifts for very dear loved ones for their birthdays. Now, I have to make the purchase so I will have one. This book is a treasure, and at the current price, it's a steal!
Review: Great, Important, Beautiful - This is a large book, a great book, an important book, a beautiful book. Its avowed purpose is to instill a love of our planet through the medium of magnificent black and white photographs of the world's untamed places, animals, and people, as they were or may have been in the time before history. The artist, Sebastiao Salgado, is a master photographer--a master landscape photographer, a master nature photographer, a master people photographer, and a master aerial photographer. Each of the hundreds of photographs magnificently printed in this book is a masterpiece, even those few printed in smaller than full-page format. There isn't a weak image in the lot. The pictures of unfamiliar places, animals, and people are no less than awe-inspiring. The pictures of more familiar places and animals, such as Bryce Canyon and Monument Valley, and lions, penguins and apes, stand favorable comparison with the very best black and white photographs of the same subjects by other master photographers. The book's layout gives respectful white space to the images, and while there are some larger images that span double-page spreads, I somehow didn't find this as annoying as I often do. This book is also a great bargain. Go buy it! As to its purpose, the book shows us the beauty of a fragile world we humans are on a fast track to destroying, but don't expect it to raise your commitment to alleviating global warming, our world's greatest existential peril. That's too much to expect of any book of photographs in this day and age of media saturation. Hopefully, some of the book's proceeds will help Salgado and his wife in their work of restoring a small piece of the Brazilian rain forest.

Small book, but photos are beautifully produced. Happy to have some of Mr Salgado’s work on my shelves. Unbelievable photos and helpful commentary!
