A pioneer of contemporary color photography, Joel Sternfeld uses large-format prints to continue Walker Evans' tradition of documenting the American landscape. This jewelry-box collection of new pictures from the late '70s and early '80s represents the era in which the artist crystallized his style. Sternfeld's chief talent is blending fortuitous moments with shrewd formal considerations — such as in Rustic Canyon, Santa Monica, California, May 1979, which juxtaposes a strangely pink hillside with a sporty pink car, as someone's dog appraises the scene.
