Summary: In 1975 the exhibition 'New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape' crystallized a new view of the American West. The sublime Americana vistas of Ansel Adams were replaced and subverted by images of a landscape inundated with banal symbols of humanity. The essays in this anthology will add an important new dimension to the studies of art history and visual culture.
