From publisher: Since American Prospects was published in 1987, Joel Sternfeld's has been critically acclaimed as one of America's most important photographers for his sweeping studies of landscapes as reflective of the human condition. But now, in STRANGER PASSING, the inhabitants of the landscape come to the forefront, resulting in a wry, insightful and compelling study that stands as a perfect companion piece to American Prospects. The diversity, complexity and possibilities of contemporary culture are clearly seen and described, and the art of portraiture itself is elevated through Sternfeld's engaging, even-handed approach. Accompanied by text from the celebrated novelist and humorist Ian Frazier, as well as Douglas R. Nickel of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, who examines Sternfeld's contribution to the history of photography, this lavishly designed and produced collection functions as an in depth look into the breadth and growth of Sternfeld's art.
