DescriptionAdobe or stucco wall with a square window showing a view of landscape. A strip of the sky is visible above the wall and below it is rocky ground with some loose boards.eMuseum Notes
This
lovely little contact print (a print the same size as the negative from which
it was made) shows a common scene that is nonetheless confusing to the eye. The
artist uses the flat wall and the flat paper it is printed on to make an
engaging geometric design but he knows we will also view it as the
three-dimensional landscape that it represents and look through the window to
see what lies beyond.
