Apple Tree

c. 1980

Richard Benson

Artist, American, 1943 - 2017

A V-shaped tree fills this vertical color photograph. The branches fan up and out from a trunk nestled in tall, tan-colored grass at the bottom center, and extend off the tops and sides of the composition against a clear, vivid blue sky. The area at the center of the tree is bushy and dotted with pale red apples.
