€20.00
'Trees' was held at the Museé des Arts Décoratifs, Nantes 1977. Writer, John Fowles 1925 -2005 published many books, several to critical acclaim. b.1928, Horvat's early work featured in Picture Post, Paris Match & Life. From 1957 he was a regular contributor to Vogue and Elle. Horvat has been widely exhibited and published and is still active. He remarks here 'it very often happens that a photograph. could be made acceptable by various manipulations such as retouching and colour filtering.I wish to preserve in each photograph .the greatest of its powers: credibility.' Some of these photos taken on dull days, demonstrate the quick snap and others a lengthier consideration.
John Fowles takes the tree and the forest as the best analogues of prose fiction, symbolizing the "green man" or the wild part of our psyche from which the artistic impulse is born. He explains the impact of nature on his own life and warns "civilized" man of the deeper and more subtle dangers that attend his traditional rejection of the wild and the chaos it has come to represent. Fowles recounts his own childhood in England and describes how he rebelled against his Edwardian father’s obsession with the “quantifiable yield” of well-pruned fruit trees and came to prize instead the messy, purposeless beauty of nature left to its wildest.
