Richard Misrach
Richard Misrach (born 1949) is an American photographer "firmly identified with the introduction of color to 'fine' [art] photography in the 1970s, and with the use of large-format traditional cameras" (Nancy Princenthal, Art in America).
David Littlejohnof the Wall Street Journal calls Misrach "the most interesting and original American photographer of his generation,"describing his work as running "parallel to that of Thomas Struth and Andreas Gursky, two German contemporaries."Littlejohn notes that all three used a large scale color format that defied the expectations of fine art photography at the time.
Misrach is widely recognized as "one of this century’s most internationally acclaimed photographers."He is perhaps best known for his depictions of the deserts of the American west, and for his series documenting the changes brought to bear on the environment by various man-made factors such as urban sprawl, tourism, industrialization, floods, fires, petrochemical manufacturing, and the testing of explosives and nuclear weapons by the military.

Richard Misrach Biography Richard Misrach (b. 1949) is one of the most influential photographers working today. For the past 50 years, he has used visually stunning, large-scale color vistas to address human intervention on the natural world. Perhaps best known for his Desert Cantos , an ongoing series depicting desert landscapes that the artist began in 1979, Richard Misrach is widely considered to be one of the pioneers of large format color photography. Born in Los Angeles, California, Richard Misrach studied psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, before turning to photography as a way of documenting his involvement in the anti-war efforts of the late 1960’s. In the years since, his achievements in fine art have remained rooted in his concern for the most complex social questions of the time — the environmental impact of globalization, industrial development, nuclear testing and petrochemical pollution. His Desert Cantos have evolved to include chapters on the US-Mexico border ( Border Cantos )
