Pure Invention: the Table Top Still Life - Photographs By Jan Groover

Trained as a painter, Jan Groover has made her mark on the photographic world as the creator of still life imagery that explores "the tension between form and content." This monograph, one of the Smithsonian's new series on contemporary photographers, offers examples of her work in delicate duotone reproductions of the original platinum-palladium prints. Also included is a personal interview, in which Groover discusses her artistic influences, philosophies, and goals.
