Prairiescapes by Larry Kanfer
A former student of architecture at the University of Illinois, Kanfer has developed a kinship with the rural regions of the Prairie State. He draws upon a rich background in art, design, and travel to focus on the unique qualities of the midwesten landscape, exhibiting an unusual sensitivity to composition, color, texture, and light. Kanfer isolates singular images--a solitary barn, a rural mailbox atop a roadside post, a red stop sign caught in the nighttime glare of a car's headlight, cornflower blossoms springing from a ditch--as well as broader prairie scenes.
"Kanfer's atmospheric photographs evoke the quiet drama of Midwest prairies.. His terrific shots are poignantly, unexpectedly beautiful." -- Publishers Weekly
