Robert Adams "Summer Nights, Walking"
Matthew Marks Gallery 523 W 24th St.
This event has ended.
The exhibition consists of 50 photographs of nocturnal landscapes Robert Adams made between 1976 and 1982 near his home in Longmont, Colorado, on the eastern ridge of the Rocky Mountains.
Robert Adams leads the viewer outwards in these photographs from the populated center of the suburban town towards the rustic plain and distant Rocky Mountains. During his evening perambulations the photographer captured trees and houses, mountains and streets, fields and sidewalks between dusk and approaching dark. Lit by the setting sun, street lamps, and moonlight, his compositions are never conventionally beautiful. They vacillate between quiet foreboding and tranquil domesticity and, as the photographer has expressed in his own writing, attempt to capture the timelessness and peace of warm summer evenings.
