SCHUTMAAT, Bryan - Grays the Mountain Sends - SIGNED 2ND PRINT RUN!

Background information, content

"The sought after, long out-of-print photo volume 'Grays the Montain Sends' by US-American photographer Bryan SCHUTMAAT contains powerful portraits, landscapes and scenes from the American West. It portrays mountain towns and former mining communities of the American West through portraits of people and landscapes. The work was inspired by Montana poet Richard Hugo. He made the work with a large format 4x5" view camera.

Reception

'Grays the Mountain Sends was named one of the best photobooks of 2013 by The Washington Post, Photo District News, Hotshoe International, and numerous other critics. It took the top prize in the photobook category in the New York Photo Awards, it was shortlisted for The Paris Photo/Aperture Photobook Awards, and it was acquired by libraries at the MoMA, New York and the Amon Carter Museum of American Art. From Tom Claxton: "The individual constituents of photobook production are rarely consolidated as wonderfully as they are in Schutmaat's sumptuous debut release. This remarkably sensitive and lyrical portrait of small mountain towns of the American West is one of the most thoughtfully constructed photobooks of recent years."
'The American Dream' is long forgotten for many, but it still drives a few ones." (© Richard G. SPORLEDER)
