Description
Book SynopsisLong out of print and now reissued on the fortieth anniversary of its first publication, IOWA is the preeminent exemplar of Diana camera work and a cult classic highly prized by photobook collectors and photographers.
Trade ReviewSummer heatwaves bring me back to my childhood in the Midwest. Humid afternoons spent indoors after a morning of swimming in the lake—I can hold the feeling of a day’s temperature on my skin for a moment before it’s gone again. Nancy Rexroth’s
IOWA...inspires the same flashes of memory...The black-and-white photographs are soft, often blurred, and vignetted, lending them a dreamy quality: fragments of doorways, light streaming in through a curtain, a crisp white bed, a sweater drooping on a hanger. Children at play, a cow’s face, her mother’s knees. Ohio, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin matters not. -- Madison Reid * Vanity Fair *
