Working with the camera's properties of soft focus and vignetting, and further manipulating the photographs by deliberately blurring or sometimes overlaying them, Rexroth created dreamlike, poetic images of \"my own private landscape, a state of mind.\" She called this state IOWA because the photographs seemed to reference her childhood summer visits to relatives in Iowa. Rexroth self-published her evocative images in 1977 in the book \u003ci\u003eIOWA\u003c\/i\u003e, and the photographic community responded immediately and strongly to the work. \u003ci\u003eAperture\u003c\/i\u003e published a portfolio of \u003ci\u003eIOWA\u003c\/i\u003e images in a special issue, \u003ci\u003eThe Snapshot\u003c\/i\u003e, alongside the work of Robert Frank, Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander, and Emmet Gowin. The International Center for Photography, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and the Smithsonian Institution included \u003ci\u003eIOWA\u003c\/i\u003e images in group exhibitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eForty years after its original publication, \u003ci\u003eIOWA\u003c\/i\u003e has become a classic of fine art photography, a renowned demonstration of Rexroth's ability to fashion a world of surprising aesthetic possibilities using a simple, low-tech dollar camera. Long out of print and highly prized by photographers and photobook collectors, \u003ci\u003eIOWA\u003c\/i\u003e is now available in a hardcover edition that includes twenty-two previously unpublished images. Accompanying the photographs are a new foreword by Magnum photographer and book maker Alec Soth and an essay by internationally acclaimed curator Anne Wilkes Tucker, who affirms the continuing power and importance of \u003ci\u003eIOWA\u003c\/i\u003e within the photobook genre. New postscripts by Nancy Rexroth and Mark L.
