Bernard Plossu, born in Vietnam in 1945, is one of today's
best-known French photographers. His photos reflect locales he has
visited all over the world: Senegal, Turkey, Poland, Mexico,
Guatemala, and the American West. The photographs here were taken
by Plossu in the late 1970s and are images of New Mexico--where the
sun, the dust, the rain, the mud, the wind, the snow, the altitude
(7,000 feet), and the smells forge a uniqueness.
"Bernard Plossu has given us a remarkable record of our own
Southwest as seen through the eyes of a Frenchman. . . . The viewer
knows what Plossu is saying by the immediate impact followed by
slow release. There are no clichA(c)s here. His subtle images must
be teased from the data he provides. It is our own Southwest but
seen in a new light from another point of view. We can learn and
enjoy from all three: the images, the photographer, and what they
release in us. We also learn that our teacher--and all good
photographers teach--is far from conventional."--from the
Foreword
