Will be bubble-wrapped and carefully packed in a sturdy box to ensure safe transit."In the 1970s and early 1980s, photographers Joe Deal and Lewis Baltz crossed paths at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) and the UCR/California Museum of Photography. During this period an exhibition organized back East with the title New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape, which included both photographers, announced the arrival of a raqdical new aesthetic in landscape. One consequence was a shift in the epicenter of landscape photography in the West from Northern California to the SoCal area. Seismic Shift traces the regional develoipment of this revolution. Beginning with Ansel Adams and Edward Weston--and with the 1946 arrival in San Francisco of Minor White, who would extend the Weston-Adams tradition by transforming it--Seismic Shift follows the history of landscape photography in the 1950s and 1960s through the careers of Wynn Bullock, Weston's son Brett and others. It then explores how the 1970s work of Baltz, Deal and Robert Adams created a shock of recognition among Western photographers of a younger generation, a realization that they shared a vision very different from that of their predecessors." -- the publishers.
