important members of the Becher School from Dusseldorf. From early in his career  he explored
historic landscape photography  which has had  and continues to have  a huge influence on his

are taken by the sea or by rivers  most of them in France. Often  his images are dominated by
imposing cloud formations. Elger Esser. The Narrow Waters presents more than sixty depictions
of river landscapes created by Esser over the last twenty-five years. Again and again  the
artist traces the literary trail of famous writers such as Proust  Maupassant  and Flaubert.
Several of the images show the Èvre  a tributary of the Loire  which French author Julien Gracq
(1910-2007) described in his essay collection The Narrow Waters. Selected passages from his
writings are presented alongside Essers' post-romantic landscapes.
