From Here to the Horizon presents the work of fifty of America’s
leading contemporary landscape photographers in honor of the life
and influence of Barry Lopez (1945–2020), one of our most revered
writers about the landscape and our place within it. Work by each
photographer was selected in relation to, and accompanied by, an
excerpt from the best-selling book Home Ground: A Guide to the
American Landscape, a reader’s A-to-Z guide to American landscape
terms, edited by Lopez and Debra Gwartney. With images reflecting
landforms or locations and others that are more evocative, the
collection creates a portrait of the beauty, diversity, and
abundance found in our shared North American topography. For Lopez,
the land was never simply a background for human activity but
reflected our aspirations and desires, both as individuals and
communities. He had a particular affinity with photographers, and
some have compared his precise, crystalline language to the
artistry found in photography. As Virginia Beahan noted, “What
impressed me so much about Barry’s writing was the slow-moving
attention to detail . . . as he tried to make sense of the world.
The collection includes leading photographers such as Virginia
Beahan, Barbara Bosworth, Frank Gohlke, Lois Conner, Emmet Gowin,
Mark Klett, David Maisel, Laura McPhee, Andrew Moore, Mark Ruwedel,
and essays by Debra Gwartney, Robert Macfarlane, and Toby Jurovics.
From Here to the Horizon serves as a marker of the admiration of
and affection for Lopez and will spark the imagination of places we
already know, or hope to one day visit, or may never see but carry
with us because of the life-affirming work of writers like Lopez.
