Onbekende locatie in de Verenigde Staten: cactus 1936

"Onbekende locatie in de Verenigde Staten: cactus" is a 1936 photograph by Dutch photographer Wouter Cool, depicting a solitary Joshua tree in a rocky desert landscape. The black and white image captures the stark beauty of the American Southwest, emphasizing the plant's resilience and the arid environment it calls home. Cool's use of depth of field draws the viewer's eye to the tree, while the surrounding hills and distant figures contribute to the sense of scale and isolation. This photo, measuring 156 mm by 230 mm, is a compelling example of Cool's documentary approach to landscape photography.
