Artists in conversation
Andreas Gursky
German · b. 1955
Gursky creates large scale color photography of landscapes and industrial sites viewed from elevated or aerial perspectives, capturing the overwhelming scale of human activity on the natural world in a way that closely mirrors Burtynsky's approach in this canola field image.
Yann Arthus-Bertrand
French · b. 1946
Arthus-Bertrand specializes in aerial color photography of agricultural and natural landscapes across the globe, producing sweeping chromogenic images of farmland and terrain that share the same bird's eye environmental perspective seen in this Yunnan Province canola field photograph.
David Maisel
American · b. 1961
Maisel photographs industrial and environmentally transformed landscapes from aerial viewpoints using large format color photography, creating visually striking images that document the intersection of human industry and the natural environment in a manner directly comparable to Burtynsky's practice.
