View, Globe, Arizona 1977

Joe Deal's 1977 black and white photograph "View, Globe, Arizona" captures a suburban landscape in a minimalist style. The aerial perspective offers a bird's-eye view of a typical American home, with a detached garage and a motorboat in the backyard. The composition is simple and uncluttered, with the focus on the details of the ordinary life in a suburban setting. Deal’s work often explored the impact of urban sprawl on the environment and the changing landscape of the American Southwest. The photograph provides a glimpse into the development of the American suburb and its visual aesthetic, leaving the viewer to interpret the broader context.
