About this book
NEW WEST: Innovating at the Intersection No evolution of a geographical region was more rapid and transformative than that of the American West at Mid-Century. NEW WEST explores the innovations that shaped this unique architectural landscape through the vibrant compelling images of the color-saturated highly-textured early social media art form of the Mid-Century Linen Post Card. Collision eruption and erosion are the formative forces that account for the raw vitality and breathtaking beauty of the American West. While it has taken 4.5 billion years to write the complex geological and hydrological history embedded in this region it has taken less than 200 years to write the story of its modern transformation into an interdependent network of landscape infrastructure architecture and entertainment. NEW WEST draws from over 400 Mid-Century Linen Post Card images of the Wagener-Erganian Collection to explore the changes that four waves of innovation - steam steel oil and information - have wrought upon the land.
