Aliza Eliazarov' s stunning animal portraits have become a national sensation, gracing the pages of The New York Times, Food & Wine, The Washington Post, and more. In On the Farm she tells the stories behind these images, diving into the different heritage animals that have come to define the modern farm movement in America. These breeds have evolved with humanity for thousands of years, making possible the rise of civilization. Yet in the age of industrialized farming they have become rare, many verging on the edge of extinction. Aliza uses her camera to capture these disappearing animals during all stages of life, from birth to childhood to old age. She shows readers a duck who attends story hour at a local library, a goat who miraculously escaped from a burning barn, a cow named Cardi B who got lost in a storm, and many other heartwarming animals who live among us. With lyrical stories, historical context, and breed overviews, On the Farm brings to life the animals who we have shaped, and who in exchange have shaped and changed our world.
"Aliza Eliazarov is to farm animals what Richard Avedon was to fashion--the absolute, genre-defining best of all time. If that sounds like hyperbole to you, open this book. The proof is in the pictures: of a pig laughing, a baby lamb taking its first steps, a Modern Game cockerel puffing out his chest, a literal horse' s ass. Tender, humorous, and heartbreakingly human, Eliazarov' s photographs serve as a welcome reminder that we brash bi-peds are but animals, too. "--Sarah Gray Miller, former editor-in-chief of Modern Farmer and current editor-in-chief of Saveur"Industrial agriculture has commodified animals raised for food, causing untold suffering and a staggering loss of genetic diversity. Most of us now exist so far from the farm that we don' t know the whimsical mischief in a goat' s eye, the poignancy of a cow' s presence, or the pert opinions of chickens. Aliza' s incisive photographs capture not only the quirky, comedic characters of farm animals, but also their dignity and profound value as individuals. "--Daisy Freund, senior director of farm animal welfare at ASPCA
