Between West Sidewinder Drive and State Highway 248, Looking Southwest 1979

This black and white photograph, "Between West Sidewinder Drive and State Highway 248, Looking Southwest," taken in 1979 by Lewis Baltz, showcases his signature New Topographics style. Baltz, known for his documentation of the American landscape, captures a starkly beautiful scene of a desolate landscape. The image depicts a snow-covered field strewn with debris, juxtaposed against the backdrop of rolling hills. The starkness of the composition, with its emphasis on geometric forms and patterns, speaks to the transformative impact of human development on the natural world.
