"Church, Coapiaxtla" is a striking photograph by Paul Strand, taken sometime between 1933 and 1967. The image captures a church in Mexico, framed by a grand archway adorned with sculptures. The stark contrast between the dark shadows and the bright, white walls of the church creates a dramatic effect.
