Product Description
From Library Journal
The author of Silver Cities (Temple Univ. Pr., 1984), a study of urbanization, has produced this well-researched and provocative examination of a photographer who engendered the "twin myths of the radical individual and the free landscape." Chronological chapters explore many phaseshis early influences, his survey and exploration assignments, his commercial photography, his painting career. Jackson's work made him a "powerful progenitor of the changes in the American conception of the West and of landscape in general." Includes a chronology of his life and work and an excellent bibliographical essay. An excellent look at his work in the broader context of the changing American landscape.
