Marlboro Pike and Boone's Lane, Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Looking Southwest 1976

John Gossage’s black and white photograph *Marlboro Pike and Boone’s Lane, Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Looking Southwest* (1976), captures a typical American suburban landscape, with a focus on the stark, almost barren nature of the scene. The image features a wide street, power lines running across the sky, and a building in the distance. Gossage, known for his work within the New Topographics movement, often explored the overlooked and mundane aspects of everyday life, finding beauty in the ordinariness. This work exemplifies his approach, highlighting the details of this suburban intersection, showcasing the visual impact of a seemingly ordinary landscape.
