Richard Misrach was born in California in 1949 and continues to live and work in the Bay Area. He is one of the primary landscape photographers working today. Over the past couple of decades Misrach has investigated the American Desert in a comprehensive and compassionate manner, focusing on threatened and altered landscapes. Misrach is best known for his Desert Cantos, a series of photos documenting the often-bizarre mix of human-wrought environmental devastation and austere, timeless serenity in the deserts of the American West.
