Untitled [Granite Fence Posts in Snow] 19th-20th century

"Untitled [Granite Fence Posts in Snow]" is a black and white photograph by American photographer William B. Post. It is a simple yet striking image of a snow-covered field with a few bare tree branches reaching towards a gray sky. The main focus of the image is on a set of granite fence posts that emerge from the snow, creating a sense of starkness and isolation. Post, known for his focus on capturing the natural world, often utilized the simplicity of nature to highlight its beauty. The photograph, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art collection, dates back to the late 19th or early 20th century and exemplifies Post's characteristic style of minimalist composition and stark contrasts.
