Terry Falke: No Straight Lines in Nature


Black and White Landscapes Revisited





We are once again exhibiting the remarkable photography of Terry Falke. In this show he is revisiting an important transitional period in his photography with prints made using current digital technology. Over a 10 year period beginning in 1984, his work transitioned from an often somber study of nature’s geometry to a more playful and ironic observation of the relationship between humankind and nature. In the mid-1990s, he switched to the color photography for which he is now known. The black and white pigment prints in our exhibit are absolutely tack sharp and brilliant.

Described by a prominent museum curator as "one of the best and most underrated landscape photographers in the United States," Mr. Falke has traveled extensively with the same Deardorff 8x10 inch camera for 30 years. He received his MFA from Bard College in New York, where he studied with Stephen Shore and other prominent figures in contemporary photography.

His photographs have been featured in more than 60 solo and group exhibitions in the U.S. and Europe. A partial list of the museum collections holding his work includes: the Dallas Museum of Art, the Amon Carter Museum of Art in Fort Worth, Houston Museum of Art, Harry N. Ransom Center in Austin, International Museum of Photography in Rochester, NY, the U.S. Library of Congress, Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego, National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC, Nevada Museum of Art, Palm Springs Museum of Art and others. Corporate collections include: the Microsoft Art Collection, Polaroid Corporation, Hewlett Packard, Pacific Telesis, Texas Instruments, and many others. His book of contemporary landscapes, Observations in an Occupied Wilderness, was published by Chronicle Books in 2006.
