About the Item
THE LANDSCAPE AROUND THE MARCEL MINE, RADLIN, 1978
Vintage Gelatin Silver Print
47.5 x 32.5 cm
Series: Silesia
Signed, titled and dated on verso; Artist's stamp
Using a basic 35mm Exa 500 camera, Cała managed to produce images of lyrical beauty, emphasised by a dark graphic printing style that gave the landscape an apocalyptic, otherworldly look.
More print information: A little tape marks in the back corners of the print. Nr 61 noted in the middle on the back of the print. The front of the photograph in a very good condition. Hand printed by the photographer on gloss paper. A rare vintage gelatin silver print from the Silesia series.
Michal Cala was born in Toruń, Poland in 1948 and studied aircraft construction in Warsaw at the University of Technology in the early 1970's. From 1974 to 1983 he worked as an engineer in various companies in Silesia, and began photographing in the area. In 1977, he moved to Tychy in Upper Silesia, where he co-founded the photographers' association KRON and become a member of the ZPAF - the Union of Polish Art Photographers.
Publications on his work include The Anthology of Polish Photography 1839 - 1989, The Masters of Polish Landscape and The Polish Photography in the 20th Century.
His exhibition 'Metropolis' on Silesian urban landscapes was held at the Silesian Museum in Katowice in 2013 and a solo show Silesia and Galicia in the Museum of History of Photography in 2016 in Krakow (Poland). His photo book based on the same series was recently selected in the Open Submission at Belfast and Athens Photo Festivals respectively (2017).
"Resisting a straightforward depiction of the district's fast decline into an industrial wasteland, Cala was able to find poetry in the grim reality of a dark post-war world." - Anna Bonita Evans, Black+White Photography, 2017

‘I've been photographing workers’ housing, mines and ironworks but the giant slagheaps and the surrounding landscape were always the most surreal subjects for me. The geometric forms of the slagheaps and the contours of the drying sediments created an amazing array of abstract forms.

Whitworth - A little horse in the distance - Black + White Landscape Small Print
Located in London, GB
"Although looking like the mid-west, this horse is grazing in front of an industrial spoil tip." - David George
When all the words are put to one side I hope the project will instigate a new curiosity for the people who live and work around the River Tees and rekindle a pride in this remarkable asset that has served them so well over hundreds, even thousands, of years.
- David George
David George's interest in British landscape began under the tutelage of John Blakemore at Derby University and continues to be a major part of his practice, now mainly concerned with ideas of classical and romantic visual semantics in the contemporary British landscape.
His work looks at the decline of traditional industries, incorporating his interest in 19th century European landscape painting.
David George (b.1957, Cheltenham and brought up in County Durham) lives and works in east London and in 2009 he co- founded the Uncertain States project which championed contemporary thinking and practice in UK photography...
