Art Sinsabaugh's midwest landscapes, photographed between 1960 and 1963, were unprecedented in both subject matter and format.

Art Sinsabaugh (1924-1983) made his artistic breakthrough in the early 1960s with panoramic landscapes of the midwest that were unprecedented in both form and subject matter. He used a giant 12x20-inch "banquet" camera that allowed him to marry a sublime and expansive 19th-century vision with mid-20th-century formalism. Trained at Chicago's renowned Institute of Design, Sinsabaugh was a landscape photographer in the broadest sense: he photographed the spaces - both rural and urban - that people inhabit. From his early midwest prairies to the majestic southwest work of his last years, his remarkable photographs capture a richly nuanced sense of place and the ever-changing face of the American environment. According to Keith F. Davis of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Art Sinsabaugh "is an artist ripe for rediscovery."
