But Nixon's wider oeuvre has been less well documented. Long overdue, \u003ci\u003eNicholas Nixon: About Forty Years\u003c\/i\u003e will be the first publication to focus on the broader swath of Nixon's more than 40-year career.\u003cbr\u003eIn a published statement about photography written in 1975, Nixon remarked, \"The world is infinitely more interesting than any of my opinions about it.\" To present the world as he sees it--in fascinating, precise and often startling detail--Nixon has consistently used unwieldy large-format cameras, with negatives measuring 8 x 10 inches or 11 x 14 inches. His recurring subjects--cities seen from above, people on their porches, landscapes, portraits of the very young and the very old--are woven together throughout his career like the cords of a cable. Nixon's large-format black-and-white photography is simultaneously intimate, technically precise and somehow relaxed. Beautifully designed and with exquisitely reproduced images, \u003ci\u003eAbout Forty Years\u003c\/i\u003e presents the most thorough view yet of this important artist's career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 10.7 x 9.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 24, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51770070270240,"sku":"9781881337423","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/63fa96c288cc2e54b01b44e8698c9fbe.webp?v=1780363900","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/nicholas-nixon-about-forty-years-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
