Seasons (with Robin Gillanders) (from the portfolio `Dear Stieglitz?) 1994
  • Scottish Art
In Ian Hamilton Finlay?s work, nature and culture meet. Made in collaboration with the photographer Robin Gillanders, this work pairs an image of a stream with a short text. The text is typical of Finlay?s style of play-on-word poetry. His description of the stream brings imagined colour to the black and white image. The photograph is from a portfolio called `Dear Stieglitz,? named in homage to Alfred Stieglitz, the photographer and gallery owner who published the art-photography journal `Camera Work? in the early Twentieth century. The portfolio features the work of artists whose photography `shows an obvious, personal and also very outspoken attitude towards their surroundings.?
