"Into the Sunset" examines how photography has pictured,
established and transformed the idea of the American West, from
1850 to the present. The development of photography coincided with
the exploration and settlement of the West, and this simultaneous
growth resulted in a complex relationship that has shaped the
perception of that region's physical and social landscape to this
day. Published to accompany a major exhibition at The Museum of
Modern Art, New York, "Into the Sunset" charts changing myths and
cultural attitudes about the West through photographs dating from
the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. An expansive and
dynamic survey, it brings together photographers as diverse as
Carleton E. Watkins and Stephen Shore, Darius Kinsey and Dorothea
Lange, Robert Frank and Cindy Sherman, an unknown daguerreotypist
and Richard Prince. More than 120 works are organized thematically
to highlight the artists' differing views of the West's land and
people.
