The “Year of the Classical Elements” concludes with Ravaged Sublime: Landscape Photography in the 21st Century. The exhibition highlights the element earth and presents nearly 30 monumental, landscape photographs by internationally recognized artists Edward Burtynsky and Richard Mosse. Ravaged Sublime demonstrates a rising trend amongst contemporary photographers who explore and challenge the traditional definition of landscape representation and

what constitutes a sublime experience in the 21st century. These photographs, through their large scale, sharp details and striking compositions, demonstrate the tantalizing appeal of landscape imagery, while also inviting visitors to consider their place within this terrain and within the larger global landscape.
