Between Seer and Seen: Celebrating the Artists of Santa Barbara County
Book by Mark Robert Halper.
Composed of 71 portraits and 15 still life images photographed from January to December or 2012, this collection of portraits provides an intimate view into the artist on their home ground. Captured in honest moments, Mr. Halper s visual insight offers the chance at a deeper understanding of the artistic temperament. In their transformation from the creators of art, to portrait subjects, the seers, who make the art and are the subjects of my portraiture, become the seen. The concept of seer and seen embodies the notion that the interpretation of art is largely about perspective. Barry Spacks, artist and the first Poet Laureate of Santa Barbara, wrote the introduction to this meditation on the visual artists of our time.
This is a beautiful large hardcover coffee table book.
