Course detail: American Landscape Photography: Images of a Changing Reality

Landscape surrounds and shapes us, but it changes. When photography came to the U.S. in 1839, people immediately turned the camera on the land. The torn land of the Civil War was shown, and then the great West in the 19th century. But there was also the new cityscape emerging. This will be a tour of nearly 200 years of imaging our nation by a variety of humans.
