A Portrait of Ice is the second monographby Caleb Cain Marcus. His firstmonograph included a foreword byRobert Frank. These new photographsare daringly sparse images of glaciersfrom Patagonia, Iceland, Norway, NewZealand and Alaska. On these vast openexpanses of ice he has found beautifulworlds of colour that open up anunmapped space. The work acts as abridge from land to ice. Once crossedthe transformation is instantaneous.It is only you and the ice. A shard ofsomething that may have accidentallyentered into this world. Glaciers, likepeople, are unique and can becomeintimately known by exterior featuressuch as form and colour, but also bytheir inner resonance. The photographsshare with us a conversation betweenman and ice.Caleb's work is included in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston,the Museum of the City of New York, and the High Museum of Art.
