Description
A color photograph, apparently taken near Crater Lake, of dense atmosphere settling over hills in the distance. Allan Bruce Zee ©; Crater Lake, Or; photo; #803; Revenue bldg 1981 Allen Bruce Zee has been exploring the art of photography since 1969. It is often the intimate view that is most intriguing to him--the landscapes in the hood of a rusting auto, the intricacies of a ponderorsa bark, or the nautilus-like spirals of a staircase. He uses a painterly approach to his color work; the black and white photographs are imbued with an ethereal quality. The varied imagery is unified by a style that distills the visual reality into a transformed vision. His prints have been exhibited throughout the country and are in prominent collections.

Biographical Information
In my work I attempt to resonate with the objective reality the eye sees and distill the vision into another essence, another reality of form, color, and feeling. In this series, dunes become bodies, hills emerge as layers of watercolor, a green century plant becomes a sensual blue flower through the use of color infrared film, and floating pine needles take on an oriental meditative character. (Zee, 1981.)
