The New West presents an unflinching photographic exploration of the American landscape undergoing rapid suburbanization, commercial development, and environmental transformation in Colorado during the early 1970s. It represents an expansion and deepening of the formal and thematic concerns established in Denver, functioning as an expansive portrait of the same unfolding suburban and environmental transformation across Colorado.
While Denver focuses specifically on the immediate metropolitan footprint and its transitional borders, The New West widens the geographic and conceptual scope across the broader Colorado landscape. It presents a more comprehensive typology of suburban sprawl, tract housing, highway interchanges, and commercial clear-cutting set against the vast, indifferent horizon of the high plains.
Note: Though the book was published in 1977, Denver's photographs were captured between 1970 and 1974, at about the same time as The New West photographs.
The New West was published a year prior to the New Topographics exhibition, in which it was referenced.
