Beach Grass c. 1920

"Beach Grass" is a black and white photograph by William E. Dassonville, created around 1920. The image depicts a close-up view of beach grass blowing in the wind, with the sand dunes visible in the foreground. Dassonville's photograph is a simple, yet evocative, depiction of nature. The muted tones and the delicate lines of the grass create a sense of tranquility and isolation. This small-scale work is part of the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
