The astonishingly lyrical and subtle tones and shades of Yumiko Izu's rare platinum-palladium prints are showcased in this quality publication which juxtaposes images from her two most idiosyncratic collections SECRET GARDEN and FARAWAY. While her exquisite compositions, shot with an 180-mm lens on a large-format Deardorff view camera, are every bit as lovely as the fluid music she relates them to, it's her mastery of tonal expression that really sets her fine art apart.
