The title \"Outside Influence\" alludes to the historic presence of the natural landscape as subject and to the transformative impact of out-of-state artists and educators. Their arrival in Colorado beginning in the 1960s galvanized interpretive photography by introducing innovative concepts, nontraditional materials, and emergent digital technologies to students, peers, and their audience-at-large. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Throughout the book's nine chapters, Rupert Jenkins contextualizes Colorado photography's postwar development with a social, political, and cultural abstract that encompasses national events and trends, the emerging presence of women and photographers of color, and institutional leadership. Drawing from more than 120 personal interviews, he identifies the medium's principal in-state creators, mentors, and advocates from the modernist era of film processing to the emergence of interdisciplinary digital practice. Jenkins answers fundamental questions about the people and work of this era: Who generated this significant body of innovative, noncommercial photographic work? Where did they come from? Who inspired them, and who in turn did they inspire? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e As Eric Paddock, curator of photography at the Denver Art Museum, discusses in his foreword, by looking at the schools, workshops, galleries, and museums that supported these artists, Jenkins stresses the importance of collaboration and community to any successful venture. Crucially, in examining the lives and careers of photographers like Robert Adams, Walter Chappell, Albert Chong, Cherie Hiser, Barbara Houghton, Winter Prather, Mark Sink, Melanie Walker, Myron Wood, and numerous others, \u003ci\u003eOutside Influence\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to affirm the medium's legacy within Colorado's fine arts canon. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRupert Jenkins\u003c\/b\u003e has more than thirty years of experience working as a writer, curator, and gallery director in San Francisco and Denver.
