and Hollywood landscape and Gursky for German and international landscapes and sites. Landmark Pictures examines how each artist has reconfigured the traditional understanding of landscape by creating highly seductive, richly associative images that evoke landmarks that are at once foreign and familiar to viewers. Neither Ruscha nor Gursky focuses on set-up photography, instead reinforcing the experience of a particular site by applying abstract effects from painting and commercial imagery, investing the familiar, often overlooked details of places we visit daily with acute significance.
