Title:
Florian Maier-Aichen in "Fantasy" - Season 5 - "Art in the Twenty-First Century" | Art21
Description:

Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Florian Maier-Aichen, from the "Fantasy" episode in Season 5 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.

"Fantasy" premiered in October 2009 on PBS.

Shown capturing his source images with a traditional large-format camera, the artist introduces painterly touches to his photographs with the aid of a digital stylus and tablet. Inspired by the idealized quality of postcards and maps, the segment shows how the artist remakes images of landscapes, from a nostalgic nighttime scene of Stralsund in GDR times to epic vistas such as a pass in the Swiss Alps, ski slopes in the Sierras, Half Dome in Yosemite, and the failed St. Francis Dam near Santa Clarita.

Florian Maier-Aichen was born in 1973 in Stuttgart, Germany. Learn more about the artist at: https://art21.org/artist/Florian-Maier-Aichen
