Summary

Photography. A fiercely independent artist, Partridge has spend seven decades building a body of work that reflects his aesthetic integrity, eccentric temperament, and fascination with every aspect of the world around him. QUIZZICAL EYE is the first published collection of work from the former apprentice of such greats as Dorothea Lange and Ansel Adams, and the son of Imogen Cunningham. "I tip my hat to his extraordinary pictures!"-Wayne Thiebaud. "I've known and worked with many photographers over the past fifty years, and I don't believe any of them-including my mother, Dorothea Lange-ever loved photography as Ron Partridge loves it. His passion for photography is unique and incandescent"-Daniel Dixon. From quiet moments to monumental landscapes, these images will amuse, disturb, puzzle, and stir you.
