William Garnett (1916-2006)
Reflection of the Sun on Illinois Farm After Heavy Rain
1977
The large silver gelatin photograph is signed by William Garnett in pencil lower right on the mount below the image.
William Garnett is an acclaimed American photographer known for his pioneering work in aerial photography. He used smaller planes to capture his striking, sometimes abstract, images from above emphasizing the patterns, textures and forms of the natural environment while he navigated the plane.
The following is a quote by the artist found on Wikipedia, ''I was discharged and heard you could hitchhike on the transport taking GIs home. The airplane was full, but the captain let me sit in the navigator's seat so I had a command view. I was amazed at the variety and beauty of these United States. I had never seen anything like that-in a book, in school, or since then. So I changed my career.''
He won three Guggenheim Fellowships to aid in pursuing his passion, and went on to write a number of books. His work was featured in a great number of exhibitions both during his life and posthumously. Acclaim came early on with exhibitions at MoMA, NY as early as 1955, just ten years after that ride home in the navigator's seat. Garnett's work is held in numerous museum collections.
Image measures 15.5 x 19.75 with a framed size of 27.25 x 29.25 inches.
Provenance: Private collection - Fort Collins, Colorado, obtained from the world's top fine art photography galleries.
