Thomas
Daniel: Into My Eyes 2000. Soft cover, 9 3/4" x 8 3/4". 95 pages. 82 illustrations. Foreword by Ted Potter, Essay by John Yau, Interview with Thomas Daniel and Christopher Gilbert. Published by Anderson Gallery and distributed nationally and internationally by the University of Washington Press. ISBN 0-935519-22-X, Library of Congress Control Number: 00-108632 |
| $25.00 Thomas Daniel is an underground legend throughout the Southeastern U.S. and beyond. This publication documents his mid-career retrospective, which spans 25 years of intensely personal collaboration between artist, camera, and subject. The 80 black-and-white images included track ten major themes the artist has pursued over the past three decades. From three tours as combat photographer in Vietnam to the current series involving Yoruba religious practitioners in the Louisiana cane country, this book explores Daniel's remarkable vision and curiosity. Taken as a whole, his work, which has been called controversial, disturbing, and brilliant, tells us much about America since the end of the Vietnam War. Although Daniel's external circumstances changed radically once he left Vietnam, one of his recurring subjects is portraits of individuals who have been marginalized by society, and those on the losing side - elderly German men, southern "Daughters of the Confederacy." Together, they form an emotionally rich, insightful body of work. |
