Description
PD: Works Project Aministration National Park Poster : This composition is presented as an homage to Edward Abbey American author: b. 1927 d. 1989.
Edward Abbey an American original, a lover of life and the natural world, and especially the desert. Abbey was a writer who answered to nobody but truth and justice as he saw it, in a world swarming with humans dedicated to greed and me first attitudes, he lampooned them all governments, Institutions, religions, giant corporations, and politicians, ah yes, especially those elected public servants who were prepared to carve up the land for corporate, and personal advantage. Always a critic of the State, society, organized religion, of modern civilization, Edward Abbey was an honest writer. The beautiful scene of the Arches near Moab, Utah a place that Abbey knew well and loved reminds us of the natural beauty he lived for. Abbey wrote to praise the beauty of the natural world, he wrote for the exultation of it, and to tell his story.
