Barbara Crane
Barbara Crane's subjects are commonplace: a piece of driftwood, a cluster of wild mushrooms, a crowd of commuters rushing for the train. The resulting photographs, however, are far from ordinary. They are imaginative, peculiar, jarring, and, like their creator, defy easy explanation. For more than sixty years, Crane has forged her own path as a photographer. Lacking a darkroom, she began using Polaroid materials. Lacking suitable models, she paid her children to pose. Barbara Crane: Challenging Vision celebrates this Chicagoan's wide-ranging art with a gorgeous collection of more than 250 color and black and white photographs. "Once I developed my first role of film in 1948," Crane notes, "nothing else mattered." Spanning the breadth of her career, from early studies of the human form to long narrow landscapes evoking Asian scrolls; from silver gelatin and platinum prints to present-day digital works, it is by far the largest and most definitive overview of her work to date. Replete with a critical analysis by John Rohrbach and a biographical essay by Abigail Foerstner, it will delight and challenge anyone interested in contemporary photography.
Barbara Crane
Hemmed in on three sides by the "El" and on the fourth by Lake Michigan, Chicago's downtown core is a vital conglomeration of architectural histories, from the birth of the skyscraper through to the perfection of International Style and onward toward postmodern eclecticism. The Loop, as the area is known, has long fascinated photographers, and Barbara Crane is no exception. Between 1976 and 1978, she wheeled a bright-red leather golf bag around the neighborhood. The bag contained a 5-by-7 view camera, which she used to expose more than 500 negatives. Later edited down to a finished series of 90 pictures, and published here as a selection of 40, Crane's images capture the interstitial urban spaces that exist in between every building block of the Loop's circumscribed grid.
When Water Was Everywhere
American Henry Scott discovers a fertile landscape when he arrives in the Mexican pueblo of Los Angeles in 1842. Working on Don Rodrigo Tilman's cattle ranch (the present-day Rancho Los Cerritos), his life is intertwined with those of a young Indian woman and a Franciscan friar. Their stories portray the novel's themes: loss, hope and redemption.

Amazon Rainforest Magic
SERIES: AMAZON RAINFOREST MAGIC The magic of the Amazon rainforest enchanted artist Barbara Crane Navarro as she spent the winter months with the Yanomami communities in Venezuela and Brazil over a period of twelve years. These travels inspired her to write her children's books. The vividly illustrated stories in this series evoke daily life in the rainforest and the magical quality of the Yanomami's relation to the plants and animals around them. The first book, "Amazon Rainforest Magic: The Adventures of Namowe, a Yanomami Boy," recounts the journey of Namowe, a thirteen year old Yanomami boy living in the rainforest, as he seeks a cure for his baby sister.
