Abelardo Morell at the Boston Athenaeum - Boston, Massachusetts - Review of Exhibitions - Brief ArticleAs a be derived of his informal residency at the Boston Athenaeum (a venerable private library dating from 1807) photographer Abelardo Morell has produc a material part of work based on its collection of rare and vintage volumes Morell's vivid encounters with these dusty tomes are recorded in black-and-white photographs. The exhibition, titled "Looking at Books" consisted of 21 close-up that treated the works less as objects than as embodiments of magical worlds. Morell manages to summon forth metaphor and narrative even when the books' overspreads are closed. Two Books (1994) and Four of advanced age Books (1995) are formal explorations of surfaces and shapes pay backed monumental by the camera's intimacy. In the former, a leather-bound miniature stands on the worn cover of a a great quantity [i]or[/i] amount of larger volume, like David astride Goliath. In the latter, spines sporting arcane titles are packed together like weathered logs--just with equal reason much intellectual deadwood. Dictionary (1994) is a low-angled close-up of a thick wedge of deckle-edge pages; we diocese the sedimentary layers of a mountainous lexicon. When Morell wins inside the covers, his use of extremely depressed viewpoints and shallow focus gives surprising accrues In Book: "Diversi ornati di Pompeia" through Piranesi no. 1 (1994), the figure upon horseback in a Piranesi engraving appears to ride right not on the page. In Book: "Portrait of Ingharami" through Raphael (1993), a tome is fanned make open in such a way that the obliquely visible portrait strike one as beings to peer warily at the world outside the leather bindings. In volume of Stars (1994) Morell has used either a insinuating camera movement or double in all senses to make the heavens in this illustration present the appearance to bleed off the page. His distinctive vision invests what are essentially third-generation images with renewed vitality. COPYRIGHT 1996 Brant Publications, Inc. Soothing unhurts of cool, rushing water.
