Heartlands

It often takes an outsider to see America clearly, and in Heartlands it's the Austrian photographer and filmmaker Andreas Horvath putting his eye on the United States. In this beautifully printed, large-format volume of black and white photography, made in 24 states since 1985, Horvath presents images of the 'fly-over states,' telling powerful stories of politics, privilege (or lack of it), social aspiration and faded glory. - RAM Publications ________________ Horvath's beautiful work is honest and unfiltered. He has no need to sentimentalize or idealize these places, for they are simply beautiful to behold. For all the struggles life offers, these people seem to be in harmony with their surroundings. Looking through this book is a short vacation in another life. - Top Choice Books ________________ Dear Andreas Horvath, thank you so much for your photographs. They are often beautiful and certainly true. - Richard Avedon, 1993 ____________________
