San Jacinto Mountains Sequence 1985

Richard Misrach's 1985 photograph, *San Jacinto Mountains Sequence*, captures the vast and austere beauty of the desert landscape. The image showcases a sweeping panorama of sand dunes and distant mountains, with a soft, ethereal light bathing the scene. This work is part of Misrach's ongoing exploration of the American West, particularly its landscapes and how they are impacted by human activity. The minimalist composition and subtle color palette evoke a sense of tranquility and contemplation, inviting viewers to consider the relationship between nature and civilization.
