FradkinLanguage: EnglishSubtitle: His Short Life, Mysterious Death, and Astonishing AfterlifeISBN-10: 0520265424Description: Everett Ruess was twenty years old when he vanished into the canyonlands of southern Utah, spawning the myth of a romantic desert wanderer that survives to this day. It was 1934, and Ruess was in the fifth year of a quest to record wilderness beauty in works of art whose value was recognized by such contemporary artists as Dorothea Lange, Ansel Adams, and Edward Weston. From his home in Los Angeles, Ruess walked, hitchhiked, and rode burros up the California coast, along the crest of the Sierra Nevada, and into the deserts of the Southwest. In the first probing biography of Everett Ruess, acclaimed environmental historian Philip L. Fradkin goes beyond the myth to reveal the realities of Ruess' short life and mysterious death and finds in the artist's astonishing afterlife a lonely hero who persevered.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Arts & PhotographyTopic: BiographyRelease Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
