Product Description
"When you read this book, remember that youre not just reading one mans story. Kurt, by virtue of his unique connections to the artistic community, speaks with a rare authority about taking risks for your art, investing in your own aspirations, and expanding your artistic horizons. Kurts view of the events of his life are all interpreted by their proximity to his art. In that regard, this book represents a rare opportunity indeed." - From the introduction by Cole Weston Art in Residence features portraits of eighty influential West Coast artists, including Ansel Adams, Cole Weston, Eleanor Antin, Jock Sturges, Robert Arneson, Judy Chicago, and more. Each portrait captures the subject in his or her work space and is accompanied by a brief statement from the artist. The photographs are more than stunning portraitsthe intense intimacy of Fishbacks style, as well as his personal relationships with his subjects, make each one an eloquent visual biography. Fishbacks style is influenced by his past work as a sculptor; the work of his father, photographer Glen Fishback; and by his close personal and artistic relationships with Edward Weston and Ansel Adams.

A Visually Stunning Book, Black and White at its finest July 14, 2000

This book is both very beautiful and informative. Kurt's images allow you to really see the artist and the surroundings that help them create their work. Kurt looks at both their outer body and their inner soul. I highly recommend this book for any person who loves both Art and Photography

I met Kurt about 5 years ago. He was teaching a class at The Workshops in Rockport, Maine. I was immediately impressed with Kurt's work and his uncanny ability to capture the essence of his subject at the defining moment. Kurt's vision is timeless, and this work demonstrates his ability to make powerful images with only Tri-X and available light. This is an excellent book for the serious amateur photographer who wants to refine his own photographic vision. You won't be disappointed.
