“Since the 1960s, contemporary photographers pursuing the landscape as subject matter have predominantly used two conceptual approaches. One is epitomized by the iconic landscapes of Ansel Adams, who sought out pristine views of the natural landscape—rivers, mountains, valleys, orchards, deserts, and the sea in the western United States—all presented with clarity and enriched by his poetic vision and commitment to environmental conservation. The other style sought to balance the depiction of formal beauty with the desire to document humanity’s presence and intervention in the landscape. The pioneering photography of Robert Adams is a leading, articulate expression of that approach. This survey show featuring these two methods of recording the natural landscape is drawn from the Cleveland Museum of Art’s permanent collection, and contains some 40 images—many of them new to the collection.”

She has published more than 20 books on art, feminism and politics, including Get the Message? A Decade of Art for Social Change (E.P. Dutton, 1984), The Pink Glass Swan: Selected Essays on Feminist Art (The New Press, 1995) and On the Beaten Track: Tourism, Art and Place (The New Press, 2000). Lippard has received a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Frank Jewett Mather Award for Criticism from the College Art Association and the 2011 Award for Curatorial Excellence from the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College.
