Bea Nettles: Harvest of Memory

272 pages 196 color photographs 92 b&w photographs
Edited by Jamie M. Allen and Olivia Lahs-Gonzales

Foreword by Bruce Barnes
From her hand-colored, machine-stitched photographic prints to her artist’s books and well-known Mountain Dream Tarot card deck (the first-known photographic treatment of the tarot), Bea Nettles’s work has always upended tradition. Recognized for her innovations in Recent mixed-media photography, Nettles used alternative photographic processes that produced textured works, with subjects including self-portraits; investigations of the body and its relationship to nature and landscape; and the experience of mothering, loss, and aging. A tremendously productive artist, Nettles has received critical acclaim, and her work has become part of museum permanent collections from coast to coast. Published in conjunction with a major retrospective exhibition co-organized by the George Eastman Museum and the Sheldon Art Galleries in St. Louis, Bea Nettles: Harvest of Memory presents for the first time the span of her art across half a century. This beautifully illustrated catalogue features three essays and offers an in-depth look at the life and work of an artist who profoundly illuminates our inner worlds.
