EarthArt: Colours of the Earth

This book is brilliantly conceived, magnificently executed, and superbly produced. The photographer has an uncanny ability to find beauty in--of all things- geology! But this isn't a textbook. It is a compilation of aerial photographs of the earth, which can only be described as uncanny and remarkable. When you think about it, Bernhard Edmaier had to first see a scene from the air and then realize its potential. But then he had to figure out where the sun needed to be in order to really capture the colors just right. Edmaier has a knack for this, which he has previously proven with his other masterpieces "Earthsong" and Earth on Fire". But this latest release is his finest book yet. All of his photographs in EarthArt are printed against a clean black background to really set off the quality of the colors and photographs themselves. I know of no other aerial photographer that can pull it off like Edmaier can. And a word about the publisher Phaidon; these are the guys that published the large-format post-911 masterpiece called "Aftermath" which I also own. Phaidon does justice to coffee table books, but manages to do it without charging an arm and both legs. And EarthArt is one of their latest offerings worth your consideration. Once you purchase this book, you will not be satisfied until you own the whole set. But what a trio of delights they are!!!

The size of this book makes it a beautiful cover to leave open on any of the many pages of colour represented within. I kept it open near my desk on a different page each day and enjoyed walking past it, glancing and taking an interest.It's the kind of book that says a lot even before you open it. Subtle sometimes speaks the loudest.

Used this as our guest book at our wedding. Guest wrote notes on the black pages. Beautiful photos and intense colors! A great addition to our booo collection.

What a great present . I unwrapped it from the plastic so I could see it too !

Earth as art says it all. Photographer Bernhard Edmaiser captures our natural world as art in this visually stunning book.

Breath taking.......so much beauty

Wonderful pictures,using for variety of art projects

Ho acquistato il libro usato, che è risultato essere in ottimo stato di conservazione e coerente con quanto descritto dal venditore. E' arrivato senza danni e prima della data prevista , ma visto il grande formato del libro forse l'uso di una busta più imbottita (o una scatola ) di quella utilizzata potrebbe evitare al meglio eventuali schiacciamenti nel trasporto.Per quanto riguarda il contenuto ho già avuto modo di apprezzare l'autore con il suo "Canto della Terra" e anche in questo libro conferma la sua bravura e sensibilità artistica a fissare la bellezza della Terra in immagini di grande impatto emotivo.Ottima la qualità di stampa e l'impaginazione, come del resto in altri libri dell'editore.

Una visione del paesaggio che non rientra nel nostro immaginario comune. Forme d'arte, colori, paesaggi naturali che abbiamo sotto gli occhi quotidianamente, ma che non abbiamo mai osservato in questo modo. Un libro unico che consiglio ai veri amanti della fotografia. Prodotto nuovo, ricevuto nei tempi stabiliti in stile Amazon.

Il libro è veramente bello e ti dà idea di quanto sia bello e fotogenico il nostro pianeta. Difficile imitarlo visto il tipo di fotografia ma da leggere

Der Bildband kam schnell. Er ist viel günstiger als im Einzelhandel. Die Bilder sind extrem schön und inspirierend. Ich würde ihn wieder hier kaufen!
