Chicago: Hand-Altered Polaroid Photographs

"Award-winning artist Cynthia Davis captures Chicago in these hand-altered Polaroid photographs. The fifth book in Davis's visual recreations of Michigan and Great Lakes locales, Chicago offers a view unlike any other of one of America's greatest cities." "Davis creates her work by manipulating Polaroid prints while they're still developing. The result is pictures imbued with a dreamlike quality, somewhere between photorealism and impressionist painting." "Anyone who has shopped the Magnificent Mile, visited Navy Pier or the Field Museum, wandered through the canyons of the Loop, ascended to the peak of Sears Tower, or explored the diversity of Chicago's many neighborhoods will appreciate how Davis transforms well-known terrain into landscapes at once familiar and magically new."--BOOK JACKET.Cynthia Davis is the author of 'Chicago: Hand-Altered Polaroid Photographs', published 2007 under ISBN 9780472115747 and ISBN 047211574X.
