Bryan Schutmaat | Sons of the Living

About

Marshall Gallery is pleased to welcome back the powerful documentary work of Austin-based photographer Bryan Schutmaat for a second exhibition with the gallery celebrating his long-awaited monograph, Sons of the Living. Bryan's photographs reveal a complex story of the contemporary American Southwest and the lives of those who call its desert highways home through a series of humbling portraits and fractured landscapes. 

From the publisher:

Sons of the Living is a photobook about the land and people along the highways of America’s deserts. Photographed over the course of a decade in the American West’s arid and sweeping terrain, this work depicts a human capacity for endurance. Schutmaat offers an updated view of the “open road” that addresses a new era of uncertainty and anxiety. Amidst a backdrop of environmental decline, economic dispossession, and societal neglect, Sons of the Living draws attention to trouble on the road ahead and searches for our hope to withstand it.
