Robert Frank

Artist, American, born Switzerland, 1924 - 2019

The image shows a weathered wooden building, potentially a church, with a steeple to the left. The horizon is not visible due to the building's height and the low angle of the photograph. There is a utility pole in front of the steeple with electrical lines. The building has vertical wood paneling, arched windows, and a metal roof. A small entrance porch is visible under overhanging eaves. The building is black and white, enhancing textures and shadows. A "No Parking Bus Zone" sign post is near the building.
