Anne Berry
Ode to the Blue Horses
Ode to the Blue Horses is a 7”x7” hardbound book with an exposed spine and a letterpressed belly-band. It features Mary Oliver’s poem Franz Marc’s Blue Horses and 31 photographs by Anne Berry that explore the themes of the trouble of childhood and the power of beauty. The duotone images examine the tension between beauty and struggle, curiosity and fear, the ordinary and the extraordinary.
The edition is limited to 100 books, each one signed and numbered. The book includes Palomino, a Photogravure print (6 × 6 inches), protected in an acetate sleeve and inserted loose. Each print is hand pulled by the artist, and signed and numbered on the front.

Berry’s photographs tug at our heart strings and elicit our empathy to all of those animals and individuals who are caged and incarcerated. This book constitutes a call to action for this planet and everything that lives on it, mankind, animals, insects and plants.

Enjoy the wonderful portraits Anne Berry offers us. The individuals they portray are ambassadors for the natural world that we have forgotten how to be a part of. Linger with them and let them inspire you to learn more about primates and to play your part in reversing the extinction crisis.
-Dr. Jo Setchell, President, Primate Society of Great Britain
These photographs, complicated though they may be, speak to a rich, complex, fascinating, beautiful, emotional and deeply personal bond between the viewer and the viewed. The glass remains, but the rift between “us” and “them” can be mended by way of honest expression. Such is the genesis of all great art. - -Collier Brown,

With each extended paw and unwavering gaze, their lives feel burdened with a melancholy of our making. Suspended between our world and theirs, the glass acts as a window to a soul, one that we discover is not so different from our own.

These photographs have such soulful power conveying the sadness of captivity and seem to reflect back something about ourselves.
