Description

Selected from photographs taken throughout the Webbs’ nearly 30-year relationship, this group of 80 paired photographs creates an affectionate play of visual rhymes

Slant Rhymes 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 throughout the Webbs’ nearly 30-year relationship (a friendship evolving into a marriage and creative partnership), this group of 80 photographs is specified by pairs—one by Alex, one by Rebecca—to create a series of visual rhymes that talk to each other, regularly at a slant and in intriguing and revealing ways.

“Once in a while we discover our photographic slant rhymes share a identical palette or tone or geometry,” writes Alex Webb within the introduction to the book. “Other times, our paired photographs strike a identical note—regularly a penchant for surreal or surprising or enigmatic moments—even if regularly in two different keys.”

In this volume, the artists’ photographs—many of which can be 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, Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb: Slant Rhymes is an unfinished love poem, told at a slant.
