It occurred to me that the vast, human-altered landscapes that I pursued and photographed for over 20 years were only made possible by the discovery of oil and the mechanical advantage of the internal combustion engine. It was then that I began the oil project. Over the next ten years I researched and photographed the largest oil fields I could find. I went on to make images of refineries, freeway interchanges, automobile plants and the scrap industry that results from the recycling of cars. Then I began to look at the culture of oil, the motor culture, where masses of people congregate around vehicles, with vehicle events as the main attraction. These images can be seen as notations by one artist contemplating the world as it is made possible through this vital energy resource and the cumulative effects of industrial evolution.\" --Edward Burtynsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steidl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783865219435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.00h x 15.00w x 1.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/03\/2010 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Edward Burtynsky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38015082856629,"sku":"9783865219435","price":106.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_837b1dd9-a6cb-4c79-9f18-f74f88e9cb74.jpg?v=1609151978","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/edward-burtynsky-oil-9783865219435","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
