Joe Deal is the photographer who perhaps best exemplifies the important approach to photographing the man-altered landscape that became known as the "New Topographics" when an exhibit toured and a book of that name was published in 1975. Deal's style is cool and dispassionate, his impeccable prints at first glance understated. But his keen observation and sense of the ironies of the population and building explosion in the Los Angeles Basin make his photographs resonate with the tensions of the human relationship to the landscape that are nowhere more evident than in southern California.Ultimately, Joe Deal's photographs are more than a survey of the urban landscape and vernacular architecture in earthquake country. From the manicured lawns in what were once desert arroyos to cities built on the beach, the sociological implications are profound and never far from view to the careful observer of these photographs. The essays provide thoughtful commentary on the far-reaching questions Joe Deal raises. Presenting these numerous series of photographs together for the first time, this book is a major contribution to late twentieth-century photography.

Claude Monet’s thematic cycle of paintings of the Rouen Cathedral is one of the most famous art series of all time. These masterworks capture the changing play of light and shadow on different areas of the cathedral throughout the day, from early morning to nightfall. Here they are, side by side, so that the brilliance of Monet’s achievement, with its beautiful palette and exquisite framing, shines through.

Bright yellow sunflowers in a golden vase. Deep purple irises and pink-blossomed peach trees, blanketing the Arles.

They are also among the most popular; the images of choice to hang on walls everywhere. Van Gogh’s genius is on gorgeous display in this fold-out collection of some of his finest floral paintings.
