Realities
Jerry Uelsmann
2005, Bulfinch
12" x 12", 112 pp
List price: $50.00
Rediscover the work of an acknowledged American
master whose influence has been immeasurable but is only now beginning
to be fully understood and appreciated. Jerry Uelsmann is a modern
master of photography, one of a select group of artists who can
be said to have altered the very language of their medium. By synthesizing
his photographs from multiple negatives starting in the 1960s, Uelsmann
broke rank with the prevailing aesthetic of the period and pioneered
a new approach that would influence countless artists and photographers
and anticipate the digital-image revolution by a generation. Other
Realities showcases a personal selection of Uelsmann's most
compelling images from the early 1960s to the present. An accessible
and insightful foreword by photography critic and historian Peter
C. Bunnell, and a preface by Paul Karabinis, director of the University
Gallery of South Florida, open the book.

Art,
Jerry Uelsmann
2003, Nazraeli Press
10" x 8", 64 pp.
List price: $40.00
"The
photographs in Referencing Art, spanning the past five
decades, reveal a relatively unknown facet of Jerry Uelsmann’s
working process: an on-going dialogue with the history of art.
These images are tributes to artists whose work has made a deep
and lasting impression on Uelsmann, and the range of works cited
in this new book is vast as he pays homage to Man Ray, Max Ernst,
Alberto Giacommetti, Ansel Adams, Marcel Duchamp, Alexander Calder
et al. Jerry Uelsmann’s work is included in most major photography
collections in the United States and Europe, and has been exhibited
throughout the world. A five-page essay by Alex Alberro and Nora
M. Alter, entitled “Imagination and the Image,” accompanies
this remarkable anthology." - 47

Introduction
by Bill Jay
"In the 1950s, as a student of Minor White’s, Jerry
Uelsmann was given an assignment to photograph doorways of “ominous
portent.” His lifelong fascination with creating images
that are dark and foreboding began at that time. For Approaching
the Shadow, Uelsmann has selected 57 photographs spanning
some 40 years, each a personal metaphor for “those dark
and evocative images that emerge from just beyond the threshold
of conscious understanding.” Most of these images have never
been published; en masse, they offer new insight to this artist’s
visual quest. Beautifully printed in duotone on Japanese stock,
Approaching the Shadow is an important addition to the
literature on this contemporary American artist." - 57 duptone

"In
an enlightening, authoritative foreword to this retrospective
collection of Uelsmann's radical photo art, Coleman, who teaches
at the Tisch School of the Arts, New York University, cites photomontages
of 19th-century sentimentalists and Dadaists of the 1920s as important
precursors to Uelsmann's work--the intermanipulation of two or
more pre-imaged negatives to produce a single ``post-visualized''
print. As seen here in seamless cohesion, improbably matched images
``appear integral to the depicted scene.'' In a reverse kinship
of form, four hands softly entwined contrast with four rocks suspended
and forbodingly separate in mid-air; individual orbed faces are
either hand-held or framed in a geographer's globe; a tiny human
figure climbs the slope of a tilted drafting-board in a richly
paneled chamber open to the sky. Uelsmann's originality is impressive.

"Acclaimed
as an international master of photomontage, Jerry Uelsmann creates
images of Yosemite so wild and personal that they expand the concept
of nature photography. In his efforts to fathom the secrets of
the park, Uelsmann says he wrestles with the Yosemite gods, fighting
the whole notion of the romantic landscape tradition, every time
he works with his Yosemite negatives." - 64 duotone photos.
