A collection of inspiring essays by the photographer Robert Adams,
who advocates the meaningfulness of art in a disillusioned society
In Art Can Help, the internationally acclaimed American
photographer Robert Adams offers over two dozen meditations on the
purpose of art and the responsibility of the artist. In particular,
Adams advocates art that evokes beauty without irony or
sentimentality, art that "encourages us to gratitude and
engagement, and is of both personal and civic consequence."
Following an introduction, the book begins with two short essays on
the works of the American painter Edward Hopper, an artist
venerated by Adams. The rest of this compilation contains
texts-more than half of which have never before been published-that
contemplate one or two works by an individual artist. The pictures
discussed are by noted photographers such as Julia Margaret
Cameron, Emmet Gowin, Dorothea Lange, Abelardo Morell, Edward
Ranney, Judith Joy Ross, John Szarkowski, and Garry Winogrand.
Several essays summon the words of literary figures, including
Virginia Woolf and Czeslaw Milosz. Adams's voice is at once
intimate and accessible, and is imbued with the accumulated wisdom
of a long career devoted to making and viewing art. This eloquent
and moving book champions art that fights against disillusionment
and despair.
