“America the Beautiful: The Monumental Landscape of Clyde Butcher,” consists of 50 large-scale, black and white photographs of the American landscape, spanning beautiful sites across the United States, from the coast of Maine, to the Badlands, to Hawaii. The 50 large-scale black and white photographs were exhibvited at the St Paul Central Library and J.J. Hill Reference Library.

Clyde Butcher's monumental photographs celebrate the beauty of the American landscape. Their scale and extraordinary clarity set them apart as exceptional works of art. In the tradition of the nineteenth-century Hudson River School painters Butcher composes his works at pristine and untarnished locations across the United States creating arresting compositions that distinctly mark him as the foremost landscape photographer in America today.
