<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Selected from photographs taken during the Webbs' nearly 30-year relationship, this group of 80 paired photographs creates an affectionate play of visual rhymes</strong></p><p><i>Slant Rhymes</i> is a photographic conversation between two renowned authors and artists, Magnum photographer Alex Webb and poet and photographer Rebecca Norris Webb. Selected from photographs taken during the Webbs' nearly 30-year relationship (a friendship evolving into a marriage and creative partnership), this group of 80 photographs is laid out in pairs--one by Alex, one by Rebecca--to create a series of visual rhymes that talk to one another, often at a slant and in intriguing and revealing ways.</p><p>"Sometimes we find our photographic slant rhymes share a similar palette or tone or geometry," writes Alex Webb in the introduction to the book. "Other times, our paired photographs strike a similar note--often a penchant for surreal or surprising or enigmatic moments--although often in two different keys." </p><p>In this volume, the artists' photographs--many of which are published here for the first time--are interwoven with short text pieces by the Webbs. A deeply personal book, beautifully produced as an intimate clothbound edition with a tipped-on cover, <i>Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb: Slant Rhymes</i> is an unfinished love poem, told at a slant.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>By the end of this modest but exquisite book, even viewers unfamiliar with either of the Webbs will have a pretty good idea of their individual strengths and tendencies, as well as of, as it were, their house style.-- "The New York Times"<br><br>A Marriage of Lives and Photos.--James Estrin "New York Times Lens Blog"<br><br>Every spread contrasts a picture apiece by each of them, and the connections between them are mostly delicate and elusive.--Luc Sante "The New York Times"<br><br>In Slant Rhymes, pairs of photographs by Webb and Norris Webb feed each other like poems in a collection...--Michael Juliani "BOMB"<br><br>Slant Rhymes, a new collaborative book by the photographers Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb, amounts to a "long, elliptical, unfinished love poem.--Craig Hubert "Hyperallergic"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Rebecca Norris Webb</strong>, originally a poet, often interweaves her text and photographs in her six books, most notably with her monograph, My Dakota--an elegy for her brother who died unexpectedly--with a solo exhibition of the work at The Cleveland Museum of Art in 2015.
