Here There Nowhere

Focusing on the evolution of the Pacific Northwest landscape, this monograph showcases Michael Brophy's 15 expansive paintings that explore the region's dramatic emptiness, contrasting its historical exploitation with minimalist aesthetics. Accompanying essays by Jonathan Raban and William L. Lang delve into the artistic and cultural history, examining the tension between idealized landscapes and their realities. The book's design captures the grandeur of Brophy's work, featuring 200 high-quality reproductions that reflect the changing mythology of the Northwest.
