Wheatfield, France 1950

"Wheatfield, France" (1950) by Paul Strand is a stark black and white photograph capturing the rural landscape of France. Known for his precise compositions and focus on form, Strand uses geometric lines, created by the field rows and tree lines, to create a sense of depth and order. The image, despite its simplicity, evokes a sense of quiet contemplation and the cyclical nature of agriculture. The image, characteristic of Strand's work, reflects his interest in documenting the human relationship with the natural world.
