Point Marion, Pennsylvania 1993

James Welling’s 1993 gelatin silver print, *Point Marion, Pennsylvania*, depicts a small town nestled amongst rolling hills. The image showcases the stark beauty of the American landscape through the lens of Welling’s minimalist approach to photography. The black and white tones highlight the architectural details of the houses and the bridge in the distance, drawing attention to the everyday elements of small-town life. This image is characteristic of Welling’s work, where he captures the mundane with an artistic eye, transforming simple scenes into compelling studies of form and composition.
