Twenty-two new painted woodblocks from photographer Adams' recent print series on the landscapes of his childhoodDuring the lockdowns of the Covid pandemic, Robert Adams (born 1937) noticed the subtle markings on a small plank of wood, detecting the form of a landscape within its grain. Long celebrated as a photographer, Adams began working with wooden scraps and block-printing ink, creating pieces that allude to the quiet forms of the Coloradan prairies, where he spent time in his youth. Created using tools he inherited from his father and grandfather, and often highlighting the natural grain of the wood, the painted woodblocks are modest in size and painted in springlike hues. Following the 2022 publication of The Plains, From Memory, this book brings together 22 new works, which often feature a bright horizon formed by blue sky and green grass populated by simple painted forms. The woodblock paintings depict idyllic pastoral motifs such as sunflowers, a road stretching into the distance and towering clouds.

A slender meditation on nature's ceaseless indifference to human affairs, as expressed through 10 gleaming photographs of the skiesFor more than 50 years, the legendary American photographer Robert Adams (born 1937) has made black-and-white photographs documenting the imprint of human development on the landscape of the American West. His austere, rigorously composed photographs capture with unflinching precision both the beauty of nature and the exploitation and degradation man has subjected it to. In Along the Canadian Border, Adams obliquely addresses our fraught societal moment, alluding to the distance between brutal political forces and policies and the resilience of the natural world. Turning his camera to the sky, he presents 10 luminous photographs of clouds, each indifferent to human boundaries and conflicts. Adams borrows the title of the book from a poem by William Stafford, who writes that, in the face of strife and pomp, "the only heroic thing is the sky."
