'Lee and I have shared a number of unconventionally interesting
friends during our five decades together, people who show us an unusual
way of living a life. I would put Raoul Hague on that list, maybe at the
top. Beginning in the mid 1960s and continuing for more than 25 years,
Lee and I and our children visited him at the Woodstock, New York, cabin
where he lived and worked. To enter Hague's cabin was entering his
universe. It was not simply a dwelling and a studio but a carefully
organized way of life, a reflection of an esthetic ideal. All he did,
whether work or pleasure, was driven by this ideal, which he created for
himself and carried out without compromise. Hague was the
quintessential storybook artist'. - from the text by Maria Friedlander.
Witness Number 6 provides a portrait - in 157 photographs by Lee
Friedlander, and accompanying essay by Maria Friedlander - of the
sculptor Raoul Hague. The Friedlanders knew Hague for over two and a
half decades, and their deep fondness for, and mutual trust with, the
Armenian-born sculptor comes through in every image and word of this
gorgeous addition to JGS s Witness series.
