Lewis Baltz
Lewis Baltz was an American photographer who focused some of his work on industrial buildings, car parks and apartment blocks.
His images “describe the architecture of the human landscape”
His work also aims to show destruction to nature and how humans can change landscapes.
One of Lewis’ contemporaries is Bernd and Hilla Becher, another 2 artists I am also focusing my artist case studies on. This link can help me in my own project, as I can use both of their work as inspiration for a modern attempt at the project.
George, you need to extend your analysis and contextual studies on all artists references t achieve more marks. Follow these steps here:
Research and analyse the work of at least 2-3 (or more) photographers/ artists. Explore, discuss, describe and explain key examples of their work relevant to your project and intentions. Follow these steps:

2. Select at least one key image and analyse in depth using methodology of TECHNICAL>VISUAL>CONTEXTUAL>CONCEPTUAL
3. Incorporate quotes and comments from artist themselves or others (art/ media /film critics, art/ media/ film historians, curators, writers, journalists etc) using a variety of sources such as Youtube, online articles, reviews, text, books etc. Make sure you reference sources and embed links in your blog post.
