The Cloudgazer: The Splendorous Book of Pictures
A sequence of pictures to encourage deep looking and calm reverie.
Ten pictures from around the world, created by artists, arranged one to a page for slow and deep looking. With no captions and no titles. The pictures have been selected for their capacity to hold our attention and gradually reveal details and stories. The pictures have been selected to resonate with the title of the book. A short poem introduces the atmosphere of each picture sequence.
Suitable for bedtime looking, looking alone and in small groups.
All of the pictures are in the Public Domain and gathered over many hours from the Internet by the author.
Roger McDonald is Director of Fenberger House, Mochizuki, Nagano Japan, Director of the Tatsue Mingei Museum in Mochizuki and an art historian and curator affiliated with Arts Initiative Tokyo (AIT). He is the author of [Deep Looking] published in 2022 (in Japanese, AIT Press).
