These landscapes of enterprise altered the natural environment on a spectacular scale, with open pit mines, coal tipples, and oil rigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLandscapes of Extraction\u003c\/em\u003e explores a powerful regional narrative that is a fundamental element of national identity played out on a vast geographical scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47424490111212,"sku":"9783777437538","price":85.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9783777437538.jpg?v=1774768379","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/landscapes-of-extraction-9783777437538","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
