Artists of all eras have succumbed to the magic of light. Their
various fascinations with the effects of light have been
preserved in many works of art. The photographs in this album
illustrate this truth. Their creators attempt to capture fleeting
moments, the colors and shapes conjured by natural light, or
the
way artificial light gives a city's historic buildings an
entirely different aspect. In his introduction, Professor Wiktor
Zin probes the essence of light. The viewer can decide whether
images of nature painted with light can compete with the works
of
man. This album was honored in the Polish Association of Book
Publishers "Most Beautiful Books of the Year" Competition
in
April 2007.
"Rembrandt said, "To grasp the role of light, one must know
the
essence of shadow." ...The pictures presented in this album
engage with luminism in the art of photography."
