Robert Adams

Robert Adams is an American Photographer who was born in Orange, NJ in 1937. His black and white photographs, mostly taken in Western America in the past 40 years or so, depict the mark that humans have made on the wilderness. Many of his photographs highlight evidence of human life against natural landscapes, often with sprawling suburban-style homes and telephone wires, half-built houses, garbage on the roadside, or even tire marks from cars that drive over the open-spaced desert. Most of his artwork questions the consequences of manifest destiny.
