Edward Ruscha

Rothenburg, Germany
1961

A black and white photograph taken from an elevated perspective, showing a cobblestone street lined with parked cars and traditional European buildings with steep roofs and dormer windows. The angle of the shot creates a disorienting effect, with the buildings appearing to be tilted. Shadows cast on the street suggest a sunny day. Two pedestrians are visible, adding a sense of scale to the scene.
