Fascinated by its gnarled, potato-like appearance and shockingly fresh, nutty flavor, Mullan began searching for, and photographing, rare apple varieties. In \u003ci\u003eOdd Apples\u003c\/i\u003e, each apple is lovingly rendered and styled according to its individual \"personality\"--a combination of its looks and its flavors. The apples are set against complementary brightly colored backdrops; they are peeled or unpeeled, cut or whole, skin shriveled or perfectly smooth and shiny.\u003cbr\u003eIt is precisely this odd charm combined with the hitherto unknown that makes these photographs fascinating studies of a supposedly commonplace fruit. Mullan embraces its idiosyncratic aesthetic qualities completely, and invites us, in this attractive gift book, to embark on a visual expedition into the world of the apple. \u003cbr\u003eBy day, William Mullan (born 1989) works at an artisanal chocolate factory in Brooklyn, and by night, he photographs fruit. British-born, New York-based Mullan came to photography as an autodidact and his talent was quickly recognized. His \u003ci\u003eOdd Apple\u003c\/i\u003e project developed into an influential and much talked-about series, reviewed by the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ei-D Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, and released as a sold-out run of prints on his website.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 7.56 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 05, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42698883203135,"sku":"9783775751124","price":17.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/494bf5f416dd9d8504b87010c28063af.webp?v=1765011669","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/william-mullan-odd-apples-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
