Synopsis
The Sheep and the Goats represents two bodies of work, The Bovidae: Divine Animals and Out to Pasture, in visual conversation. The work calls attention to the cultural landscapes surrounding domesticated animals. The Bovidae: Divine Animals looks at animals and environments in Kern's ancestral heritage: Ireland, Germany, Norway, and Iceland. Out to Pasture responds as a meditation on rural America from his home state of Minnesota, USA. Together, these projects offer perspective on the meaning of pastoral in contemporary time. Among Kern's influences are the landscape painters of the nineteenth century, especially regarding the use of light and composition.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - »The Sheep and the Goats« vereint zwei Arbeitskörper in visueller Konversation, The Bovidae; Divine Animals und Out to Pasture.

Magazine with additional wool bookmark with mother of pearl button tied to top, positioned at R. J. Kern's contribution to this issue. Extravagant production of two series of photographs taken by R. J. Kern: "The Bovidae" depicts animals and their environment in the countries of Kern's ancestors, Norway, Iceland, Ireland and Germany, while "The Unchosen" chapter depicts animals in rural America, focusing on Minnesota, the home of the photographer. The fifty-two photographs, thirty-two in part one, are reproduced photo-lithographically. "Animals have always been a canvas onto which mankind projects emotions or ideas. Kern's personal examination of his ancestry in Ireland, Germany, Norway, and Iceland resulted in an artistic project in which goats and sheep represent issues of identity and history. From the biblical story of Eve and the snake to the contemporary book and movie, "Life of Pi," animals have long connoted the polysemy of "nature": both man's intrinsic qualities and the pure actions of the animal world. In this way, Kern's photographs are part of a long cultural history in which animals act as metaphors, most notably in the pastoral tradition." (Lisa Volpe). The enclosed issue of National Geographic contains a story and color photographs by R. J. Kern entitled "The Unchosen. The competition is fierce at the county fair animal contest in Minnesota. Few are winners. What happens to the others?" Proof. A Photographer's Journal (page 105). The photographs have been exhibited at the National Portrait Gallery, London, in 2017/18, the Klompching Gallery, Brooklyn, 2018, and the Griffin Museum of Photography, Winchester, MA, USA, in 2108, and they have been awarded the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2017.
