Untitled (Hydrangea, NY)
1953

A black and white photograph capturing the contrast between nature and a man-made structure. A cluster of hydrangea flowers with large leaves extends over a wooden plank walkway, casting distinct shadows on the surface. The sunlight highlights the textures of the leaves and petals, as well as the wood grain of the planks.
