Abstract
Mark Haworth-Booth gives an introduction to Lewis Baltz's Sant
Quentin Point series (1982-1983). H.-B. traces the traditions
relevant to Baltz, and the new Topographers. He mentions
Sheeler, Walker Evans, and Frederick Sommer. The last fuses some
European surrealism into landscape, including the iconography of
the disregarded (""unphotographable''). Even Minimalistic ideas
seem involved, described as: ""the world, like it or not, seen
as 'installation', asking what is installed, by whom and how''.
Concerning the San Quentin series, Baltz stated: ""I was curious
to see if I could photograph near where I live''.
