The simplicity of Adams’s execution is key here because it is true to its subject: Nature creates nothing in excess. People do that.
A photograph by Robert Adams from his “Sea, Stone, and Other Pictures” collection, featuring work from the 2010s. Of the three Robert Adams solo shows concurrently on view at Fraenkel Gallery, “The Plains, from Memory” is the most visceral, charming undertaking, and a deft change of pace for the legendary photographer.
The show moves from the found landscape to progressively more developed wood carvings in which the artist further draws out the landscapes trapped in their surfaces with carved lines and stains of ink, with results reminiscent of Milton Avery or Richard Diebenkorn paintings. Standout among these is a pastoral scene of a field under clouds, a mountain range in the background and a tree in the foreground, all achieved with six lines and five colors.
