A collection of works by American photographer Henry Wessel (1942-2018). Wessel is famous for his black-and-white works capturing landscapes and everyday scenes from the American West, California and Arizona. The exhibition "New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape" held at the George Eastman House in 1975 was a valuable exhibition that left a mark on the photography world, showing a new trend in photography that objectively records landscapes transformed by humans. It was Wessel who attracted attention by being exhibited alongside Robert Adams and Lewis Bolz. He also taught at the San Francisco Art Institute from 1973 to 2014 and has been committed to nurturing many young photographers. This is a catalogue of works published on the occasion of an exhibition held at MoMA in San Francisco in 2007 and later touring Germany. This book introduces his representative works, mainly landscapes as mentioned above, and some portraits.
