Detailed Product Description
SF, Sierra Club, 1960, 1st edition. 95 pp, 58 b/w photos. Handsome photos of California, mostly Sierra Nevada. A poignantly beautiful variation of the theme in This Is the American Earth appears in this book (of the same format) by a man who was a musician, a poet, a photographer --- and also a man who could see more than beauty in the mountains he loved. On a page he wrote in 1954 to preface one of the many early versions of Words of the Earth, Cedric Wright said: "I have been unusually privileged in knowing intimately those wilderness areas where the intangible values sing clearly.
It has seemed important to conserve the significance of that singing, to understand its significance not merely in some art form, but rather to try to clarify what it could bring to human life in general. The artist seeks fundamental beauty, the voice of concord, in a world which is presently dominated by opposite types of understanding. Beauty and understanding are the foundations not only of art, but also of a peaceful human world. It is imperative that in such times as these the artist should use his words and his thought in addition to his art." With the sensitive aid of Nancy Newhall, Cedric Wright has posthumously made an integral whole of words, thought and art. Large hardcover, DJ, Very Fine and clean. No visible flaws, really Mint condition.
