The River’s Edge 2015

Robert Adams' "The River's Edge" (2015) is a black and white photograph that showcases the artist's signature style of landscape photography. The image captures a weathered piece of driftwood lying on a sandy beach, partially obscured by a tangle of vegetation. The stark simplicity of the composition emphasizes the natural processes of erosion and decay, highlighting the powerful forces of nature. Adams' work is often seen as a commentary on the impact of human development on the natural world, and "The River's Edge" exemplifies this theme with its focus on the quiet beauty of a seemingly untouched landscape.
