Landscapes by Max Schmid
132 pages, 13-8/10 x 12-6/10, 114 color photographs, Cloth
Max Schmid's majestic color landscape photography has
been compared to the paintings of Caspar David Friedrich
and to the music of Mendelssohn. His dramatic work transports us through its symphonic grandeur and scope, and
transcends through Schmid's ability to capture the eternal in
a fleeting moment. His intense color landscape photography
celebrates the formidable forces of nature and the elemental
beauty of the earth, sea and sky, creating a breathtaking
primordial vision. Schmid's compositions are in the tradition of great, classic landscape photography in terms of
his brilliant mastery of light, scope, perspective, and contrast. Each Max Schmid landscape is an extraordinary
masterpiece of art.
The work collected in this monograph focuses largely on
the magnificent landscapes of New Zealand, Australia,
North and South America, Europe and Iceland.
Max Schmid was born in Zurich,
Switzerland in 1945. He has lead
photographic expeditions and traveled to the most remote areas of
the world as a landscape photographer and nature-lover. His dramatic
photography has earned him status
as one of the most celebrated history and landscape photographers
in his time. His photographs have
appeared throughout the world in more than twenty books.
He is the author of Wilderness Light,
Switzerland Rediscovered, published
by Edition Stemmle.
