Mountain Lake - Black and White Landscape Photography Skillful black and white photograph of a lake in the mountains by by Bill Clark (American, 20th Century). Dramatic rock formations have created a lake in the mountains. There is some vegetation on the hillside. A shadow of a person projects across a narrow portion of the lake onto the far bank. Presented in a white mat. Unsigned but purchased with a collection of his signed works. No frame. Clark's photography involves the examination of hidden details of urban life transformed into aesthetic objects, he transforms the mundane to art, elevating both the subject and the possibilities of photography. Clark continues to exhibit his art in many galleries. Artists statement: "My photography involves the examination of hidden details of urban life transformed into aesthetic objects. In the tradition of minimalist artists whose focus is on context, it is texture that facilitates the dialogue between the natural and the man-made world. Metal is harmonized with wood, deteriorating paint takes on the significance of a volcano, sunset or rainstorm. I am interested in transforming the mundane to art, elevating both the subject and the possibilities of photography."
