Between the Covers

Unbound. A collection of 18 black & white photographs (gelatin silver prints), ranging in size from approximately 10.5" x 10.5" to 15" x 19", by the Arizona based photographer Duane Martin. All are tipped onto artists boards, most are Signed and captioned in pencil. A near fine set that features many beautiful Arizona landscapes, still life compositions, and architectural prints. The landscapes were taken in the vicinity of Humphreys Peak and the Coconino Plateau between Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon. They include four winter scenes and two early prints of large trees along the bank of a lake, and alongside a country road, both strikingly reminiscent of Jean-Baptiste Corot. The still life prints include ceramic vessels and bottles, a Hummel figurine, and a journalist's desk top titled "Flash News". The architectural prints include one urban street scene, a "Lookout House" situated in a canyon, a Spanish style portico, and MIT's Greek revival building in Massachusetts. There are also two photographs of wooden boats, and a young girl at play. The collection also includes one additional 10.5" x 9.5" print of mountain spa in Czechoslovakia, and five certificates issued to Martin by the *American Photographic Society of America*. A fine representative collection of Martin's work spanning a twenty-five year period.
