Beschreibung

First printing, with full number line. SIGNED by Brouws on half-title page (as pictured). A mint unread copy, new, pristine. This book began as a cultural geography of Main Streets and became a visual critique of the myth of upward mobility that created this car-centered, paved-over universe. Some of the images in this book look outward to the edges of suburbia where sprawl is encroaching upon nature. Others turn inward, documenting the devastated inner cities. All of the stunning color photographs reflect the complex beauty and desolation of visual life in our time. Photography. Quarto. Ferry-Art.

�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Like many who grew up during the spread of sprawl--with its predictable landscape of housing developments, shopping malls, interstate highways, and big-box construction--acclaimed photographer Jeff Brouws is drawn to places that still embody the vernacular past as well as to those that starkly portray the soulless, franchised American landscape. What began as cultural geography of Main Streets became a visual critique of the myth of upward mobility that created this car-centered, paved-over universe. Some images look outward to the edges of suburbia where sprawl is encroaching upon nature. Others turn inward, documenting the devastated inner cities. All the stunning color photographs reflect the complex beauty and desolation of visual life in our time.
