The big picture: a quiet American apocalypse
www.theguardian.com
Gregory Crewdson creates meticulously staged landscapes that exaggerate the post-industrial desperation of small-town America"Crewdson has staged stories of American melancholy and mystery for the past three decades, in claustrophobic domestic interiors, on quiet suburban streets, and in disquieting landscapes. Recently, his settings have had links to his personal life. In his last major body of work, “Cathedral of the Pines” (2013–14), he took solace in his new home of Becket, following a divorce and a departure from Brooklyn. The forested terrain became the backdrop for his doleful figures, lost in thought among the towering trees, or reclusive in their small wood-paneled homes." #Photography #Storytelling
