New. 1998 University of Notre Dame Press hardcover book brand new still in shrink wrap with 107 pages and intact dust jacket. This book was acquired at the sale of items from Fritz Kaeser's estate;.
The 80 plates in this book illustrate the 50-year career of photographer Fritz Kaeser. During the 1930s he operated a studio in Madison, Wisconsin, and was widely exhibited in pictorial salons. After World War II Kaeser studied briefly with Ansel Adams and began photographing the American Southwest and the Rocky Mountains out of studios in Aspen, Colorado and Tucson, Arizona. His photographs of the 1940’s through the 1960s are wonderfully diverse. There is even a series of portraits of Georgia O’Keefe, several published here for the first time. Late in his career, Kaeser produced totally abstract images and studio shots of bones and skulls, inspired by his readings in religion that included the poems of the Catholic monk, Thomas Merton.
