Lawrence Beck: Villa Lante III, 2013
60″ x 73″ archival pigment print on dibond

From the Sonnabend press release:

These new “Italian Pictures,” consisting of large format photographic tableaux of formal gardens, aqueducts, and fountains, were photographed in and around Rome last year. The patinated ruins, bridges, and statuary in these works are captured in early morning and late afternoon light that provides both atmospheric softness and chiaroscuro definition. The motif is the same as that used by classical artists as a source of contemplation and inspiration, but here is used in a way that uniquely blurs the distinction between photography and painting.

Sonnabend Gallery: Lawrence Beck, Italian Pictures, 2013

This installment of Italian Pictures is LTI-Lightsides’s sixth exhibition at Sonnabend Gallery with Lawrence Beck. As were all the previous works, these 59″ x 72″ archival pigment prints are imaged from high resolution scans of his original 8 x 10 color negatives.
