Enco - Conway, Texas (from Five Views from the Panhandle Series) 

Edward Ruscha's black and white photograph, *Enco - Conway, Texas* (from *Five Views from the Panhandle Series*) is a classic example of his signature style. The image captures the stark beauty of the American West, specifically a roadside gas station in Conway, Texas. Ruscha's minimalist aesthetic is evident in the simplicity of the composition, focusing on the gas station's sign, a parked car, and the vast open space around it. The photo is evocative of the American landscape, with the emphasis on the mundane, yet visually captivating, subject matter, which is synonymous with Ruscha’s artistic practice.
