Peter Hujar

Untitled (monkey bars), Southbury, CT
1957

A black and white photograph capturing a moment at a playground with children playing on and around a jungle gym. In the foreground, a young boy with a contemplative expression looks to the side, his face partially covered in a white substance. Behind him, other children are climbing and playing in the water, with one child in mid-shout, adding a sense of lively activity to the scene. The background features a brick building, suggesting an urban environment.
