High-resolution, artless and very distancing: Lewis Baltz

"Among the qualities that most attracted me to photography were its transparency (illusory, of course) and its (equally illusory) sense of being almost authorless," Lewis Baltz is quoted in Steidl's comprehensive new overview. "The vernacular that interested me wasn't the 'snapshot aesthetic' but the vernacular of commercial photographs in a 'documentary' style, the sorts of photographs you might see in a real-estate office window: high-resolution, artless; and very distancing." Featured image is "South Wall, PlastX, 350 Lear, Costa Mesa" from Baltz's 1974 New Industrial Parks near Irvine, California series.
