Publisher’s Comments:

Ed Marquand, Owner and Creative Director of Marquand Books, Seattle, Washington.

Listen to the publisher of Human Canvas describe the significance of this body of work from Art Wolfe. It is an energized expression in both its beauty and cultural impact. One aspect of this project was to return to Ethiopia and to reconnect with people that inspired him and show his previous work to younger generations. Art Wolfe can’t help but share the amazing things he finds. Art’s intense curiosity and fearlessness drive this project.
