        Feb. 16, 2023

        J. Barry Thompson Photo - Colorado Sand Dunes

        Est: $400 - $600

        J. Barry Thompson (American, b. 1948). "Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado" black and white photograph, n.d. A stunning photograph of Colorado's magnificent Great Sand Dunes by J. Barry Thompson capturing their natural beauty - those elegant crescents, rolling contours, and remarkable textured sand patterns - in dramatic black and white. The Great Sand Dunes are the tallest wind-produced dunes of North America with some mounds rising more than 700 feet high! In addition to southern Colorado, Thompson has traveled throughout the American West, capturing Big Sur, Death Valley, the Sierras, the Grand Canyon, as well as the Colorado Plateau with his lens. Size (sight view): 9.625" L x 18.625" W (24.4 cm x 47.3 cm) Size (frame): 15" L x 23.875" W (38.1 cm x 60.6 cm) According to Michel M. Geary, author of "Sea of Sand: A History of Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve" (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2016), "The Great Sand Dunes sprawl along the eastern fringes of the vast San Luis Valley of south central Colorado, covering an area of nearly thirty square miles. They are the tallest aeolian (wind-produced) dunes in North America, heaping mounds of sand that tower more than 700 feet above the valley floor. The Great Sand Dunes also serve as a cultural crossroads for more than 10,000 years of human history, from Paleolithic big-game hunters to nomadic Native Americans, Spanish conquistadors, transcontinental explorers, hard rock miners, and modern-day tourists in motor homes."

        Est: $50 - $75

        A silver gelatin photograph, with twisted metal, signed and numbered 32/100 in margin; 12" x 10" (sight), 20" x 16" (mat size). After an introductory course in high school in New England, Barry Thomson knew by the end of his senior year that he would be a photographer. Thereafter self-taught, he began his career by doing street photography and purchased a 4x5 view-camera when he was 21, Traveling through the West, visiting Big Sur and Death Valley and hiking in the Sierras, it was ultimately the Grand Canyon, and later the Colorado Plateau that really captured his heart and imagination. Even though he loved the immensity of Western spaces, Thomson returned to Vermont in his early 30's to what is essentially a much more intimate environment. The change in the physical landscape proved pivotal in defining his photographic vision. In photographing "smaller" landscapes, the imagery also started to become more abstract, which subsequently led to an expanded idea of what constitutes a landscape.
