The River’s Edge 2015

Robert Adams’s *The River’s Edge* (2015) is a black and white photograph of a large piece of driftwood, which rests on the shore of a beach. The subject of the photograph is centered in the foreground, with the river in the distance and the hills behind the river. The photograph is a good example of Adams’s work, which often focuses on the relationship between humans and the natural world. The artist often photographs landscapes, particularly in the American West, but also in the Pacific Northwest, like in this photo. The image is a striking example of Adams's minimalist style.
