Presents Alex Webb's and Rebecca Norris Webb's "Slant Rhymes". A photographic conversation between two world-class artists: The Magnum photographer Alex Webb and his wife, poet/photographer Rebecca Norris Webb. They have collaborated before, most notably on "Violet Isle" (2009) and "Memory City" (2014), with terrific results. Here, for the first time, they present paired photographs, one by Alex, one by Rebecca, facing each other, in a visual dialogue that "creates a series of visual rhymes which talk to each other, often at a slant, in intriguing and revealing ways" (Publisher's blurb). Most of the images appear for the very first time, are connected through epigrammatic texts by Rebecca Norris Webb, and result in "an unfinished love poem, told at a slant". "Sometimes we find our photographic slant rhymes share a similar palette or tone or geometry. Other times, our paired photographs strike a similar note, often a penchant for surreal or surprising or enigmatic moments although often in two different keys" (Alex Webb). As a serious photographer who works in color, Alex Webb has few peers. His unerring eye for color, compositional brilliance, and admirable composure in the face of his often harrowing subject, the chaos called modern life, are regarded by many commentators and admirers as being on the same level of achievement as Miguel Rio Branco, one of the greatest Latin-American photographers of our time.
