DescriptionView of Glen Canyon Dam with retaining wall at left and bridge at right with landscape in between and small sliver of sky at top.eMuseum Notes
In this view of the Glen Canyon Dam near Page, Arizona, the artist has flattened the composition so that everything pictured seems to occupy a single plane. The massive retaining wall of the dam at left and the engineering feat of a steel bridge at right do not appear as intrusive, man-made elements in this picture. Instead, their scale and surfaces blend in with the rocky landscape around them, creating an intriguing graphic composition.
