"Frank Gohlke's photographs are arresting, elegant and sophisticated contemporary landscapes. Traveling the prairies of the mid-section of the United States, the mountainous forests of the Pacific Northwest and, more recently, central Europe, Gohlke has orchestrated volumes of geographical space into precise, formal delineations of the land. His vision is one of clarity, precise description and documentation." --Preface. "This is the forty-sixth in a series of publications on serious photography by the Friends of Photography.[...] This publication accompanies a traveling exhibition of the work of Frank Gohlke prepared by the Museum of Contemporary Phtography." --Copyright page.
