This catalogue presents a lively range of voices at the intersection of art, environmentalism, militarism, photography, and politics. Alongside interviews with prominent contemporary artists working in the landscape photography tradition, the images speak to photographers' varied motivations, personal experiences, and artistic approaches. The result is a surprising picture of the ways violence and warfare surround us. Although most modern combat has taken place abroad, the US domestic landscape bears the footprint of armed conflict--much of the environmental damage we live with today was caused by our own military and the expansive network of industries supporting its work. Designed to evoke a field book and to nod toward ephemera produced by earlier artists and activists, the catalogue features works by dozens of photographers, including Ansel Adams, Robert Adams, Dorothy Marder, Alex Webb, Terry Evans, and many more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Harvard Art Museums \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eHarvard Art Museums, Cambridge, MA\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (September 17, 2021-January 16, 2022)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Makeda Best\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300260083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300260083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard Art Museums\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 8.80w x 1.00d","brand":"Makeda Best","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994619478271,"sku":"9780300260083","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b6205b60-d5b5-47df-94bc-20ccf826a970.jpg?v=1683331224","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/devour-the-land-makeda-best-9780300260083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
