Strand similarly photographed adobe walls and southwestern architectural surfaces in stark black and white, treating textured surfaces as abstract geometric compositions with deeply contrasted light and shadow.

Edward Weston
American · b. 1886

Weston shared White's devotion to revealing the abstract formal qualities of ordinary surfaces and structures through precise tonal control and sharp detail in monochrome photography.

Brett Weston
American · b. 1911

Brett Weston frequently photographed weathered walls and architectural fragments as boldly abstracted black and white images, emphasizing raw texture and the interplay of light across rough surfaces much like this specific work.
