About the Item
Edward Burtynsky (b. 1955) is one of Canada's most successful photographers.
A noted filmmaker, entrepreneur, and environmental advocate, Burtynsky is known internationally for his images documenting the consequences of industry on the environment.
Burtynsky documents extreme and fascinating evidence of global industrial change. His images present a tension between beauty and desecration. His best work offers unbelievable landscapes, including a level of detail normally impossible for the human eye to comprehend.
Produced at the beginning of his career, Burtynsky's Railcuts series is a formative body of work and the first of his landscapes to receive significant recognition.
"Railcuts #4" captures the textured facade of blasted rock in a confrontational close-cropped composition. A bold linear incision slices through the lower third of the image, evoking a sense of direct, even violent, contact with the landscape.
This piece is an exceptional output from Burtynsky's seminal years and played a crucial role in shaping the artist's distinct visual language and subject matter.
Today, Edward Burtynsky's work can be found in over 50 museum collections, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Guggenheim, The MoMA, and the Tate Modern.
