About New Topographics
This group is about how the landscape is changed and affected my human interaction.
The title comes from the ground breaking photography show of the same name in 1975.
Before posting images here, be sure to look at the work of the photographers mentioned below.
From wikipedia:
"New Topographics is a movement in photographic art in which the landscape is depicted without sentimental representation of the world we inhabit as being a place we do not exist in. It is sometimes seen as a reaction against utopian representations in landscape photography, of the sort exemplified by Ansel Adams' photographs of Yosemite; depicting only unfettered nature at a time when industrialization was at its peak in the American economy. The photographers in the New Topographics style show landscapes that include roads, housing projects, bridges, and other aspects of the landscape which show the traces of human activity. The 1975 exhibition New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape defines this movement. William Jenkins organized this exhibition for the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film, Rochester, NY. It included works by Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Joe Deal, Frank Gohlke, Nicholas Nixon, John Schott, Stephen Shore and Henry Wessel, Jr."
