David Opdyke's massive collage This Land (as elucidated in this book by award-winning author Lawrence Weschler) presents a slow-burning satire of the American Dream as it blunders into the reality of climate changeThis Land is an epic mural fashioned by New York artist David Opdyke out of vintage American postcards which he then treated with disconcerting painted interventions. What at first reads as a panoramic bird's-eye view of an idyllic alpine valley reveals itself, upon closer examination, to be an array of connected scenes and vignettes.Across more than five hundred postcards, each one portraying a distinct slice of idealized Americana (town squares, mountain highways, main streets and county seats), Opdyke's acerbic, emotionally jarring alterations gradually become evident.In this prophetic refashioning, forests are aflame, tornadoes torque from one card into the next, a steamboat gets swallowed up whole by some sort of new megafauna, frogs fall like Biblical hail from the sky.The human responses form a cacophony of desires and demands, panic and denial. Biplanes trail banners urging Repent Now!, others insist Legislative Action Would Be Premature, while still others advertise seats on an actual Ark.The book This Land affords readers a closer and closer viewing of Opdyke's devastatingly sardonic take on our impending ecological future, one in turn enlivened by Lawrence Weschler's vividly sly blend of artist profile and critical interpretation.Featuring introductory essays providing background on the artist and the project as a whole, This Land also divides the sprawling mural into eight sections to allow for a more intimate viewing.Interspersed among the detailed visual sections are insightful thematic essays by Lawrence Weschler and an afterword that serves as a stirring call to action by civil rights attorney Maya Wiley.

Cartoné (tapa dura cartón). Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. This Land es un mural épico creado por el artista neoyorquino David Opdyke a partir de postales estadounidenses antiguas que luego trató con desconcertantes intervenciones pintadas. Lo que al principio parece una vista panorámica a vista de pájaro de un idílico valle alpino se revela, tras un examen más detenido, como una serie de escenas y viñetas conectadas. A través de más de quinientas postales, cada una de las cuales representa una porción distinta de la cultura estadounidense idealizada (plazas de ciudades, carreteras de montaña, calles principales y sedes de condado), las alteraciones mordaces y emocionalmente discordantes de Opdyke se vuelven gradualmente evidentes. En esta remodelación profética, los bosques están en llamas, los tornados pasan de una tarjeta a la siguiente, un barco de vapor es tragado entero por una especie de nueva megafauna, las ranas caen como granizo bíblico del cielo. Las respuestas humanas forman una cacofonía de deseos y demandas, pánico y negación. Las imágenes se ven animadas a su vez por la vívida y astuta mezcla de perfil artístico e interpretación crítica de. LIBRO.
