An Eye for Beauty: Photographs of Evelyn Lauder.

New York, NY Harry N. Abrams, 2002. Hardcover First Edition [2002]; First Printing indicated. SIGNED BY AUTHOR on half-title page. First Edition [2002]; First Printing indicated. Near Fine in Near Fine DJ: Both book and DJ show only minute indications of use. Only apparent flaw is that the binding shows a little lean, common in books of this shape, while remaining perfectly secure; text clean. DJ hows only the mildest rubbing; price unclipped. Overall, very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. Oblong 4to. 100+ pages, color photo on almost every page. Hardback with DJ. A sequel to The Seasons Observed, Evelyn Lauder's first book of photographs, this new book presents a dazzling new selection of full-color images made by the author during her travels throughout the world. From brilliant sunsets over the Pacific, to intimate close-ups of flowers, faces and abstract patterns formed by light on water or ice, Lauder demonstrates a remarkable ability to capture the beauty in the everyday world. The first book was arranged according to the seasons; this one will have a more straightforward design, organized by the photographer's approach to her subjects (sky, natural spectacles, close-ups of abstract patterns, landscapes). The implicit themes of Lauder's photographs are clearly optimism and nature's capacity for healing and renewal. SIGNED BY AUTHOR.
