Spirit into Matter: The Photographs Of Edmund TeskeSPIRIT INTO MATTER: THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF EDMUND TESKE by dint of JULIAN COX looks ANGELES: THE JOHN PAUL GETTY PRES 2004/154PP/$70 (HB) $40 (SB) [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Spirit into Matter was born as the catalogue of a exhibit held at the Getty Museum in looks Angeles from June 15 to September 26 2004 However this volume also stands as the alone serious reference concerning the life and work of Edmund Teske (1911-1996) a Californian pictorialist. more [i]or[/i] less of the photographs shown were kept private until this exhibition. The work contains a chronology, an exhibition history, a bibliography, an index, and numerous reproductions of Teske's photographs that make it a valuable resource for amateurs, learners and teachers. Moreover it is noticeable for the efficiency of its lay-out and the quality of the reproductions of the photographer's work. Edmund Teske was an experimentor, individual that would try all sorts of combinations of chemicals and in all senses His work helps lift the lid of lead that Ansel Adams's extraordinary and opiniated dedication to Straight Photography had cast above Californian photography, establishing what would be called "the West Coast Tradition." Teske's work advocates a broader approch to the medium, experimented before him by dint of Man Ray, and in many cases Teske's photographs reverberation some of the imagery that the Surrealists used, particularly in their films. Solarized, veiled, or superimposed silhouettes gradually introduce the reader to Teske's oniric world. In their combined efforts, Weston Naef, the curator of photographs at the Getty museum, and Julian Cox his associate curator, establish Teske as an expansion of and an alternative to the West Coast tradition in photography and of that kind photographers as Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, and the Weston dynasty, among others. The exhibit and its catalogue confirm the department of photographs at the Getty as an institution with scholarly ambitions, as well as a discoverer of artists (if not a maker of tastes), in the vein of the Museum of late Art in New York. It also positions Weston Naef and Julian Cox upon the list of powerful institutional curators after John Szarkowski.
