Venice:
A Personal View
Photographs
by Andrea Baldeck
Poised in delicate, often hazardous balance with the liquid
natural world the fabric of the man-made city rises out of
the water and is reflected in it. The earth of Venice, a tissue
of alluvial silt, is upheld and given form by a vast subterranean
endoskeleton of wooden pilings supporting buildings of splendor
with their feet in the mud. The air of Venice carries both
heat and swells from North Africaís deserts and envelops
life like liquid gauze. And fire, the most volatile of the
four elements, has both destroyed and redrawn swaths of the
city and fed the industry and commerce of a trading nation.
Andrea Baldeck —musician, physician, and photographer—has
had an abiding interest in third world medicine. Her photographs
have been exhibited widely and are part of the permanent collections
of major museums.
