A weld-the-cockpit shut, Kamikaze kind of commitment here.<BR/><BR/> The physical distance from the subject here is intelligently subverted by the unbridled passion, devotion and intimacy with the concepts driving their image-making.

Great art does this well, sometimes subtly, and for a lifetime. <BR/><BR/> Great art also inspires, generates and informs subsequent work. <BR/><BR/> The Bechers spawned an era and a dominant philosophy (with all the baggage that entails) in and of our time. <BR/><BR/>--- Luis<BR/><BR/>Ps.
