Landscapes of Extraction explores the art of mining, the
transformative industry of the American West, competing in
sublimity and striking color with the natural scenic landscape on
its own terms. These landscapes of enterprise altered the natural
environment on a spectacular scale, with open pit mines, coal
tipples, and oil rigs. How artists portrayed the mining industry in
the American West is explored in the book with four scholarly
essays. Artworks were inspired by the multiple landscapes created
by large-scale mining, specifically the mines themselves, the towns
that grew up around them, and the miners and their families who
lived and worked there. The industry shaped communities and
landscapes throughout the West: Arizona, California, Colorado,
Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah. Landscapes
of Extraction explores a powerful regional narrative that is a
fundamental element of national identity played out on a vast
geographical scale.
