Beautiful “coffee table” book containing pictures of Stephen Lyman’s artwork and photographs. Lyman painted nature, wilderness, and animals of the Sierra Nevada, Alaska, and Northern California. The art is beautiful, and it is complemented by a narrative of the author’s hiking and camping adventures in Yosemite written by Mark Mardon. Lyman was a follower of the philosophy of John Muir and this book is filled with quotations from Muir’s writings, the serenity found in communing with nature, and the importance of conservation. It is a wonderful tribute to an amazing artist. Unfortunately, and ironically, the author died while hiking in Yosemite within a year of its publication, so this book serves as a remarkable testament to his life. He named one of his sons “Muir” and was living off-the-grid before it became fashionable. My art teacher gave me this book as a gift to inspire me, and it has unquestionably served the purpose. Highly recommended to nature and art lovers. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
During years of study and exploration, Stephen Lyman discovered his calling: to paint the wilderness with passionate commitment, and to communicate the joy found there in each image. Through his beautiful paintings and extraordinary photography he celebrates the importance of the wilderness as a whole. Into the Wilderness is more than a splendid art book. With it, you can journey with Lyman into a wilderness very few have experienced. You can share the sensation of being in the wild--exploring, discovering, studying, and enjoying the all-encompassing beauty of unspoiled nature. Into the Wilderness features Stephen Lyman's favorite paintings, as well as many unpublished paintings and sketches. In addition, the artist includes more than one hundred of his own photographs showing details and overviews of the natural world that inspires his paintings. Through Lyman's paintings and photography, and in the words of writer and former Sierra magazine editor Mark Mardon, each of us can experience the deep quiet of the woods, find serenity at the water's edge, climb mountains, and be completely at home in the world of the wilderness.
