In Dreamlike Art & Deviation, John Bernhard takes us on a creative journey. Showing us over thirty years of transcendent, constructed images, coupled with insightful essays on different aspects of Bernhard s photographic art from Steven Evans, Bill Kouwenhoven, Marc Robert, and Marc Douglass, the book opens the door to the artist s intricate, filigreed, and dreamlike world. Arranged as a chronological record, this volume is equally if not more useful and accessible by vaulting from image to image, page to page, backwards and forwards, discovering the myriad formal, visual, and thematic correspondences that exist in the work across time, expressed through Bernhard s rich series. In this way, this abstract in your hands is more than the visual encyclopedia and index of John Bernhard s life s work in photography to date; it is the dictionary for the artist s vocabulary of dreams. In it we find his language, so that we can converse with this dreamer of dreams.
