In 1979, Richard Misrach began the series Desert
Cantos, set against the spectacular landscapes
of American deserts. Misrach's photographs
include nuclear test sites, natural and man-made
disasters, and tourist meccas, and they often show
the presence of human beings in the otherwise
unspoiled environment.
