* 大卫·明奇 üDavid Muench was born on June 25, 1936 in Santa Barbara, California. His sensitivity and determination to champion the strength and beauty of the land, and wilderness in particular, have led to extensive contributions of his work in magazines, books, advertising, exhibit format books, wilderness and conservation publications, as well as numerous exhibits. His formal schooling includes the Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, New York; The University of California at Santa Barbara, and the Art Center School of Design, Los Angeles, California. David has been a freelancer for more than 40 years. David Muench has studied under the tutorship of nature and has tried to follow his own intuitions and perceptions, without imitating work of other photographers. In his words: For me, making photographs is always a total and continuing involvement. Underlying my need for expression of a spirit of the land are certain patterns of discovery and exploration. Intense creative awareness, along with the patience in waiting for dramatic forms of sun and shadow, unusual light, or a decisive moment of mood, challenge my minds eye toward achieving, what I like to call, a timeless moment.” Muench is the primary photographer for more than forty books, and has participated in numerous one man exhibits. One of his favorite assignments was in 1975 when he was commissioned to provide photographs for 33 large murals on the Lewis and Clark Expedition for Jefferson Expansion Memorial in St. Louis, Missouri, including 350 smaller eco photographs to accompany the murals. Hanging of this permanent large collection was completed in June, 1976. David’s most recent book collaboration’s with his son, Marc, include CANTICLE OF THE EARTH with Sorin Books and COLORADO with Graphic Arts Center Publishing. Other recently published GAC books are PRIMAL FORCES, CALIFORNIA and PLATEAU LIGHT. ARIZONA is available with Arizona Highways and IMAGES IN STONE with Brown Trout Publishers. WINDSTON
