À l'automne 1968, Robert Adams, professeur d'anglais à l'université, s'est trouvé inexplicablement amené à photographier une zone indescriptible au sud de Colorado Springs dont l'élément le plus remarquable était un relais routier à la sortie de l'autoroute. Les images que le photographe a prises de ce site par ailleurs sans grâce ont confirmé pour lui une nouvelle façon vitale de se rapporter au monde. Il exploitera cette révélation dans The New West, le livre qui établira à la fois ses photographies et son sujet - le paysage contemporain de la frontière américaine - comme des sujets d'importance plus large. Cette première série essentielle a été rééditée pour inclure des images inédites de cette période.

In the fall of 1968, Robert Adams, a college English teacher, found himself inexplicably drawn to photograph a nondescript area south of Colorado Springs whose most notable feature was a truck stop off the interstate. Unflinching in their description yet embodying a mysteriously radiant peace, the pictures Adams made of the otherwise graceless site confirmed for him a vital new way of relating to the world. He would parlay this revelation into The New West, the book that would establish both his photographs and his subjectùthe contemporary landscape of the American frontierùas matters of wider consequence. This pivotal early series has been re-edited to include previously unpublished pictures from the period.
The subject of these pictures is not tract homes or freeways but the source of all Form, light à light of such richness that banality is impossible. Robert Adams, from The New West
