Black house, Stewart, Alabama Possibly 1989 - 1993

William Christenberry's "Black house, Stewart, Alabama" is a color photograph of a weathered wooden house in Stewart, Alabama. The house is framed by a large tree on the left and a variety of bushes on the right. The rusty tin roof and the worn wooden siding give the impression of time and neglect. Christenberry was known for his documentation of the American South, particularly rural Alabama, using photographs and sculptures. This image is characteristic of his style, focusing on everyday scenes and objects with a contemplative and nostalgic air.
