Eliot Porter (Winnetka, Illinois 1901-1990 Santa Fe) Tree and Mountain Valley, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee, 1969 Dye-transfer print, printed early 1980s 10 1/2 x 8 1/8 inches Knoxville Museum of Art, 2015 purchase with funds provided by Ellen R. "Sis" Mitchell Porter visited the Smoky Mountains several times between 1967 and 1969 and took dozens of vibrant photographs in preparation for his highly-acclaimed monograph Appalachian Wilderness (1971). He did not publish his photographs in editions, and as a result his prints are exceedingly rare. In 2012, the KMA was fortunate to purchase two other Porter prints, Red Tree near Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, October 7, 1967, 1967, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park, 1968. |
