Samenvatting
We cite from the COVER:
"Following his seminal book The New West, American photographer Robert Adams focused his attention on the rapid development of Colorado's most populous city, Denver. First published in 1977, denver: A Photographic Survey of the Metropolitan Area presented ninety-three images of an urban area undergoing explosive, unconsidered growth. This revised edition of denver, printed to much higher standards than the original, preserves the earlier version's restrained critique while adding twenty-six previously unpublished images."
"When I took the pictures thirty-five years ago," Adams observes, "I wanted to explore whether a romantic view of Denver and the American West was entirely wrong. As I photographed I found enough remaining of the sky, fields, and mountains to credit nature's promise, its beauty, but I also saw enough of our failed stewardship to question our country's stated dream."
"This new edition of denver: A Photographic Survey of the Metropolitan Area, 1970-1974 is published to coincide with a second edition of the related monograph What We Bought: The New World: Scenes from the Denver Metropolitan Area, 1970-1974. Together they make available again a compelling record of the American landscape in the second half of the twentieth century."
