Suburbia has occupied a conflicted place in American life since the
end of World War II, when the edges of cities across the nation
began rapidly transforming into small metropolises of their own.
California was at the heart of that boom, and in "Suburban Escape
"Ann M. Wolfe offers a compelling look at the history and culture
of California sprawl through art, from the 1950s to the present.
"Suburban Escape "presents the work of more than fifty renowned
artists who use painting, photography, sculpture, and other media
to examine the changes that suburbia has wrought on the physical,
political, and social environments of California. The generic
blandness of tract-home architecture, the negative--and
positive--environmental impacts of suburban land-use patterns, and
suburbs' ever-changing cultural and ethnic demographics become fuel
for the artistic imaginations of Ansel Adams and Robert Adams, Jeff
Brouws and Fandra Chang, David Hockney and Ed Ruscha, Joel
Sternfeld and Lewis Baltz, Laurie Brown and Larry Sultan, Richard
Misrach and Camilo Jose Vergara, and dozens more.
