ThomasJoshuaCooper.pdf

Came across this pdf written by Gerry Badger on Thomas Joshua Cooper, a black-and-white landscape photographer who teaches (or used to anyway) in Glasgow.

I think he's having an upcoming show at LA County Museum. Posting the essay almost more because I think it's a really well written account of landscape photography's recent history in the art world. Whether you like Cooper's pictures or not, seems interesting to understand how and why he is positioned as an 'important' artist, when what he does seems so similar to what many members on here do.

not great quality reproductions - but I thought a good read.
