About this book

Highlighting the work of three consummately skilled contemporary artists, this exhibition addresses the distinctly different ways that each of them views the subject of landscape. Included are epic views of the landscape around Farmington, Georgia, by John L. Cleaveland, Jr.; landscapes from the Francis Beidler Forest, an 18,000-acre Audubon wildlife sanctuary north of Charleston, South Carolina, by Julyan Davis; and paintings of controlled burns in forests and fields of northern, central, southern, and coastal Georgia by Philip Juras. Essays by John Lane, J. Drew Lanham, Russell Worth Parker, and Jason Thrasher are meditations on the landscape, the environment, family, and friendship. Also included are photos of the artists and writers by Thrasher.
