Joel Sternfeld

Near Lake Powell, Arizona

In this chromogenic print, Sternfeld captures a landscape near Lake Powell marked by the stark contrast between natural geological formations and human intervention, with vibrant color rendering that characterizes his distinctive approach to color photography. The flush-mounted presentation emphasizes the photograph's chromatic intensity while the later printing allows for contemporary exhibition standards. Created during Sternfeld's career documenting American landscapes, the work reflects his consistent interest in examining the relationship between human development and the American environment.
