Lewis Baltz was visual artist and photographer he then became a important figure in the new topographic movement. born September 12, 1945,  died November 22, 2014, he was manly based in Europe from 1980 but did travel frequently. Lewis Baltz focused on architecture of tract housing, office parking lots, and industrial parks.

“But my daily life very rarely took me to Point Lobos or Yosemite; it took me to shopping centres, and gas stations” this is a quote form Lewis Baltz that explains why he didn’t fall into the traditional landscapes because he wanted to show the beauty that everyone can see and don’t have to travel miles.

I like this image because of the central symmetrical appeal of the circular in the centre of the image encased in a rectangle in a rectangular image.

The sharpness of this images highlights the beauty in the normal everyday. i think this image was taken to highlight the beauty in the mundane and show that there is beauty everywhere not just 1000 of miles away.

this photo shows a light car positioned on a very dark background this looks like a shoot but to the left of the frame the dark wall stops and the road continues showing that this isnt just a car on a black backgroubd perfectly postioned in a studio it has natural beauty which is what Lewis Baltz and the whole new topographical movement is about.
