Description

From the Denver Art Museum (in 2011): "The first edition of Prairie, published in 1978, is now a sought-after collector's item....Informed by a dedication to ecological principles, Adams's photographs offer an unsentimental view of the American wilderness--paying tribute both to its natural beauty and to the infrastructure of life on the land: farmhouses, gravel roads, and furrowed fields. This [book] stands as a monument to Adams's work, and a poignant reminder of the quiet but profound ways in which our habitation of the land alters it."
