PHOTOGRAPHS BY SONJA BULLATY AND ANGELO LOMEO. TEXT BY MARIE-ANGE GUILLAUME
Praising Guillaume's poetic capturing of the lives and
times that make Tuscany so beloved is not meant to take anything away from the
brilliant images presented by the New York-based Bullaty and Lomeo.
Anyone who has picked up a camera will be instantly
jealous of the golden light, long shadows and perfect composition portrayed in
their photos.
"For three decades these photographers have been
drawn to Tuscany and its surrounding areas endeavoring to capture the special
light, the sculpted countryside, the heralded cities and hilltowns, and the
celebrated art and architecture," the dust jacket summarizes the 1995
publication.
"Their photographic themes include timeless views of
ocher landscapes where farmers arrange their haystacks like artists; castles
overlooking acres of irises and vineyards; shadowy cypress trees defining the
land; explosions of color in springtime; incandescent views of Florence, Siena,
and Pisa; faces on sculptures; faded frescoes in silent cloisters and other
details of art and architecture; humorous vignettes of the daily round; and
sparkling Mediterranean seascapes.
This photographic album of Tuscany is truly
unlike any other."
