自从10年前第一次崭露头角,瑞恩·麦克金利迎来了摄影的全新的语言:图像所特有的文化根植于当代的时刻,同时唤起一个田园诗般的永恒。在这本新书“瑞恩·麦克金利:远方”是艺术家提供一个他最近的作品集。麦克金利是他这一代第一个探索美国裸体人物景象的艺术家。以一套全新的视角,他展开了一场正在进行的一系列图像,镜头聚焦在长达数月横跨全国的夏季公路旅行。这一路来他们发现了开放式景观和风景如画的荒野。麦克金利和他的模特们——就像来自另一个世纪的探险家。不管是徒步在泥炭覆盖的山脉,在水晶湖游泳,或在大片的高草丛中打滚,这些身体在田园场景的艺术图像一直是他的签名,和他的胜利是他几乎能唤起梦幻般的自由状态。瑞恩·麦克金利作为工作至今最广受好评的摄影师,理所当然被认为是一代的声音,没有其他当代艺术家的作品像他那样渗透到这不可磨灭的流行文化当中。

Since first coming to prominence 10 years ago,Ryan McGinley has ushered in a wholly new language of photography: images thatare uniquely grounded in our contemporary moment while simultaneously evokingan idyllic timelessness. In this new volume, Ryan McGinley:Way Far, the artist presents acollection of his most recent work.
McGinley was the firstof his generation of artists to explore the nude figure within the Americanlandscape. With a fresh set of eyes, he embarked on an on-going series ofimages that were shot during months-long summer road trips cross-country.Transfixed by the open vistas and the picturesque wilderness he found along theway, McGinley and his models—not unlike explorers from another century—set outto rediscover these unpopulated spaces. Whether hiking on peat coveredmountains, swimming in crystalline lakes, or rolling around in vast fields oftall grass, the artist's images of bodies in pastoral scenes have been hissignature, and his triumph has been his ability to evoke the almost dream-likestate that comes with that kind of freedom.
As one of the mostcritically acclaimed photographers working today and rightfully considered thevoice of a generation, no other contemporary artist’s work has permeated popculture this indelibly.
