Table of ContentsReviewsNick Brandt's ravishing portraits of African animals are like premonitory memorials, taken to aid the cause of staving off extinction. In <i>Inherit the Dust</i>, his astonishing panoramas of those portraits - installed as life-size panels in industrial and urban wastelands that have trampled the animals' habitats - are a jolting combination of beauty, decay, and admonishment.The result is an eloquent and complex J'accuse, for the people are as victimized by development as the animals are.The breadth, detail, and incongruity of Brandt's panoramas suggest a collision between Bruegel and an apocalypse in waiting.--Vicki Goldberg, Art Critic, Author The result is an eloquent and complex 'J'accuse, ' for the people are as victimized by 'development' as the animals are.
