Summary:
Since the early 1960s, William Christenberry has plumbed the regional identity of the American South, focusing his attention on Hale County, Alabama, from which he hails. Although Christenberry is most often associated with and recognized as a pioneer in the field of American color photography, his vision is multifaceted and rendered through an unorthodox mix of media that includes sculpture, drawing, painting, and found-object assemblage. Christenberry’s theme, however, is singular : the history, the very story of place, is at the heart of his project. Christenberry’s poetic documentation of vernacular architecture, signage, and landscape captures moments of quiet beauty in a sometimes mythic terrain that, with its iconography and buildings turned ramshackle. Since relocating to Washington, D.C., in 1968, Christenberry has dutifully returned to photograph the same locations annually - the green barn, the palmist building, the Bar-B-Q Inn, among others - fulfilling a personal ritual and documenting the physical changes wrought by the passing of a year. With a foreword by Elizabeth Brou.
