Hardback. Condizione: Good. Like many who grew up during the spread of sprawl--with its predictable landscape of housing developments, shopping malls, interstate highways, and big-box construction--acclaimed photographer Jeff Brouws is drawn to places that still embody the vernacular past as well as to those that starkly portray the soulless, franchised American landscape. What began as cultural geography of Main Streets became a visual critique of the myth of upward mobility that created this car-centered, paved-over universe. Some images look outward to the edges of suburbia where sprawl is encroaching upon nature. Others turn inward, documenting the devastated inner cities. All the stunning color photographs reflect the complex beauty and desolation of visual life in our time.…

Ships in box from the USA, quickly & w/care. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: Approaching Nowhere: Photographs by Jeff Brouws is a large-format color photography monograph published by W.W. Norton & Company in 2006. Jeff Brouws's panoramic lens captures the quiet, haunting desolation of the modern American highway and its surrounding commercial ruins. The monograph documents the transformation of the American landscape from local, vernacular roots into a homogeneous, corporate terrain of franchised spaces, discarded sites, and suburban sprawl. Red paper-covered boards with blind-stamped black spine lettering secure the heavy, high-gloss paper stock printed in Italy by Mondadori Printing, Verona. The accompanying photographic dust jacket features a landscape view of Highway 196 in Rowley Junction, Utah, on the front panel and a Minneapolis strip mall parking lot on the rear. William L. Fox contributes a substantial introductory essay analyzing the visual and social realities of de-industrialization. Mondadori Printing in Verona, Italy, executed the color-separation and lithographic printing of the offset-lithographic color plates, capturing the nuanced lighting of night-time parking lots and misty, fog-shrouded roadsides. The academic study of American geography and post-war suburban development finds a visual reference in these pages. Jeff Brouws (illustratore). …
