In the former two books, Adams created a comprehensive document that was resolute in its avoidance of romantic notions of the American West and dispassionately honest about man's despoliation of the land. Both books demonstrate the artist at the height of his powers as a documentary photographer and a poetic sequencer of images.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe photographs featured in \u003ci\u003edenver\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWhat We Bought\u003c\/i\u003e show tract housing with mountain ranges in the distance, trailer lots devoid of people, suburban streets through generic windows, shopping mall interiors, and parking lots: subjects distinctly unspectacular, familiar, and banal. Adams's compositions are straightforward and democratic, and it is this precise turn from sentimentality that has made Adams one of the most influential figures in the history of American photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese exquisite new editions, printed in rich tritones, celebrate this landmark work. \u003ci\u003edenver\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ealso includes new and previously unpublished photographs from the project, chosen and sequenced by Adams himself. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the Yale University Art Gallery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Adams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300149638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300149630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Art Gallery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 9.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Robert Adams","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43994825392383,"sku":"9780300149630","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efee332e-ebc6-4465-a1cb-ba63a3009d50.jpg?v=1683332399","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-we-bought-robert-adams-9780300149630","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
