BOOKS SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WRAPPED IN PADDING, IN A BOX. A retrospective monograph on the work of the influential Israeli photographer and educator, Igael Shemtov, and the catalogue for an exhibition held at The Open Museum of Photography, Tel-Hai Industrial Park, May 2009. The book presents four series by the photographer: Tel Aviv, 1976-1977; The Photo Album, 1979-1980; Neve Amal, 1981; and Color Photographs, 1992-2008. With the exception of The Photo Album, the images are landscapes, cityscapes, and construction sites in Israel, some occupied by people, most unoccupied. The Photo Album was inspired by the color snapshots the photographer had processed in a Kodak lab. The images are "conceptually sophisticated but unpretentious landscapes, portraits, and interiors" with "the casual, buoyant quality of a tourist's snapshots. But their concision and consistency are hardly artless (Stephen Shore and Luigi Ghirri both come to mind). Shemtov's genuine appreciation for the ordinary allows his work to transcend its period and join the ranks of the timeless." Photographs by Igael Shemtov; essay by Naama Haikin; foreword by Ruthi Ofek. 224 pages, paginated from right to left; color and b&w plates throughout; 9.5 x 8 inches. Biography/exhibition history. Text in English and Hebrew.…
