# Landscapes Through the Lens of Laura Gilpin

In this Object Lesson, join Curator Micah Messenheimer to explore how Gilpin both drew on and broke from tradition to present a deeply human landscape through the lens of her camera. Among the foremost American photographers of the 20th century, Laura Gilpin made landscapes that varied from evocative, fog-shrouded views of Garden of the Gods in her hometown of Colorado Springs to sharp and structured scenes of the Mayan site of Chichén Itzá, in addition to a considered body of portraiture of Native communities of the Southwest.
