Burnt Stump, New Grass, Sierra Nevada, CA

Print Notes

This is the only print of this image in the collection. This composition is a study in contrast of dark and light, new and old, dead and alive. It was made in an area just south of Yosemite National Park that had recently burned. Adams remembered being drawn to the juxtaposition of the bright new grass and the charred black wood.
