The panoramic format seems to harness the magnitude of the Welsh landscape in each sweeping frame. "I would like to see everything, to look at everything," Koudelka says. With these black and white images, the Artist finds the humanity, even if it is just the suggestion of it, in the seemingly desolate, though often epic landscape. The spaces in these photographs seem abandoned, but only just so, as if the people might return at any moment. Roads wind through the trees and ancient tombstones reach up to the heavens in hope.FROM MAGNUM PHOTOS: "With very limited availability, this rare Koudelka monograph is destined to become very collectible. In Reconnaissance, the longtime Magnum photographer continues his panoramic camera work, creating a dark, lyrical, and compelling view of the Welsh countryside. Unique and beautifully printed, the book is designed as an accordion-fold with spectacular double-page images and an illustrated index."NEW, SCARCE/OUT-OF-PRINT.
