Nevada 33, looking West Possibly 1977 - 1978

"Nevada 33, looking West" is a black and white photograph by American photographer Lewis Baltz, taken sometime between 1977 and 1978. It is a part of Baltz's "New Topographics" series, which focused on the documentation of the American landscape. The image features a vast, barren landscape in Nevada, with a lone dirt road stretching towards the horizon. The road is marked by tire tracks, which are the only sign of human activity in the otherwise desolate scene. The image's starkness and simplicity evoke a sense of isolation and loneliness. The "New Topographics" series, to which this photo belongs, was a significant movement in photography that shifted the focus from romanticized landscapes to a more objective and critical view of the American landscape.
