Manufactured Landscapes : The Photographs of Edward Burtynsky Hardcover VGC

Very good book, some light edge wear to DJ, and mild sunning to spine, see images\nOver the past twenty-five years, the internationally renowned Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky has been an explorer of unfamiliar places where human activity has reshaped the surface of the land. His astonishing large-scale color photographs of the landscapes of mining, quarrying, railcutting, recycling, oil refining, and shipbreaking uncover a stark, almost sublime beauty in the residue of industrial \u201Cprogress.\u201D The implicit social and environmental upheavals that underlie these images make them powerful emblems of our times.\nThis handsome catalogue of the first major retrospective of Burtynsky\u2019s work features essays by Lori Pauli, Kenneth Baker, and Mark Haworth-Booth, as well as a wide-ranging interview with the artist by Michael Torosian. The book includes sixty-four color plates.\n\nPublished in association with the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa
