Summary

What does it mean to see the essence of things? David Lubbers is always asking this question and seeking to answer it in his photographs. In his latest collection of black-and-white photographs, stirring images from different times and places are paired in ways that, by heightening similarities of form and feeling, challenge our everyday perspectives.

To really see these photographs is to recognize the singularity of artistic purpose that has marked Lubbers' work over the past twenty-five years -- what Jon Burris, director of the Brett Weston Archive, calls "the persistence of vision". Lubbers' vision goes beyond form and technique. It is a vision shaped by his deep respect for the places and people he photographs, and by his enduring reverence for nature and life.
