“Macduffish, Evertonian, Evertonlike, Macduffy. |

The
landscape spreads out from our vantage point, low and flat and topped
by perfect little clouds. Macduff Everton’s photographs have given us a name for this type
of landscape. As sleazy parts of L.A. Belong to Raymond Chandler’s
vocabulary, so do the immense spaces of the United States now have
a translator. An early champion of the work, Andy Grundberg wrote, “Macduff Everton updates travel photography in the same way that Ansel Adams updated 19th century photography of the West. He captures strange and eloquent moments in which time, and the world, seem to stand still.” These are moments when the weather is about to happen — or not. When some activity is about to get under way. Or not. It is no small trick, seducing us into the scene, particularly the undramatic but exquisitely rendered landscape of an unidentified field or meadow or verbank. These deceptively simple images lure us into thinking that within the elongated borders of the photography is an actual vista. This is Everton’s paradox: the absolute elegance of the scene observed belies the rigorous formalism of his photography. He makes it look easy, and he makes it look gorgeous — a perfect Evertonian moment." Janet Borden, Janet Borden Inc., NYC |
