John Cogan reviews Jack Bamford

Jack Bamford DPAGB APAGB AFIAP gave a highly regarded talk to Durham PS 19th July 2012. Here is an extract of a review by John Cogan:

“You could tell he was an engineer just by the way he revels in every eclectic detail that captures his eye. There is a love of the intricacies of things. Even within the vast landscapes there is a still moment, and an attention to the detail: the crazy, abstract Moorcroft-pottery style of lines at Yellowstone; the white trees in a bleached landscape. But these are as much an exercise in colour and shape as expositions of land formation and the geological underpinnings of a geographic area. Jack betrays himself as much as a Colourist in the Glasgow Boys’ tradition as a photographer in the Ansel Adams’s style.”
