The Four Seasons

"Our gallery’s passion is for the exceptionally fine photograph, handcrafted, in beautiful and rare processes. The medium used by DeCosse in his new works is among the rarest and most beautiful we have ever seen.

The images are in color, 16” x 20” and larger. They look almost like paintings – because they almost are. Each one is unique, a monoprint produced by DeCosse and his studio artisan and master printer, Keith Taylor, in the handcrafted gum-dichromate process – a delicate, painterly medium unlike any other. Although gum-dichromate printing is most identified with photography’s “old masters,” including Edward Steichen and the Photo-Secession circle, DeCosse has reinvented and refined the medium in ways that make it uniquely his own."
