The Kamakura Print Collection, Photogravure Etchings by Peter Miller
鎌倉プリント・コレクションへようこそ ・ ﾌｫﾄｸﾞﾗﾋﾞｭｰﾙ 銅版画、ﾐﾗｰ･ﾋﾟｰﾀｰ (Peter Miller)
The portfolio book Clairvoyant, published by Revue K in connection with an exhibit of photogravure etchings by Peter Miller in France, includes 14 beautifully printed images from the exhibition. Designed by the distinguished artist and publisher Roman Kames in Paris, and printed in Prague on 200-gram Tintoretto paper, Clairvoyant has an Introduction by former Ajoint-Premier de la Touraine Jean-Yves Couteau and an essay by art philosopher Marie-Parra Aledo. 22 x 22 cm, 20 pages, ISBN: 978-2-908120-25-7
She writes 'As we cast our minds back to the earliest days of art-making, to mankind's remotest past as people and as creators, we encounter those immortal acts that perpetuate memory, acts which occurred before the mastery of form and color.... To engrave, to make a mark on matter, is thus to inscribe memory.... From simple gestures to the most innovative technologies, the print always resonates with visceral perception, with the vital rhythms of primordial gestures seen today as gestures of art, intimately bound up with the instinctive, living perception possessed in common by humans and animals, in search of memory.
'If art always stems from surprise, here, these images etched by Peter Miller, with the spontaneity of photography, yet undoubtedly drawn from careful consideration in response to direct observation of nature, give us the sense of an ideal beauty that we can never forget.'
With art we are connected with ancient memories and intimations of the future, a clarity of vision that suggested the title 'Clairvoyant'. The 14 prints in Clairvoyant are:
