The photographs are set in context by Becom's brilliant writing, a personal memoir of his search for Mediterranean color and also the product of wide-ranging research on the history of the region and its marvelously varied traditions of vernacular building. Mediterranean Color is about seeing abstractly, but also concretely, intensely, and sensually, about seeing the life embodied in paint and stone and plaster. It is about how people in six nations on or near the Mediterranean Sea celebrate living in the exquisite details of the buildings they have created.
Jeffrey Becom avoids the familiar tourist attractions, focusing instead on the houses of farmers and fishermen, exploring the details of an amazingly varied vernacular architecture. Jeffrey Becom is a traveler in search of color, and he has found a bounty of it in the intimate corners of Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, and Greece. Complementing the dazzling images is Becom's graceful and informative guide through the regions he has photographed.
