Comment

Although there are more than 20 years between the creation of these images, a similar design principle is visible. While Coburn’s snowy surface seems uniform in its shade, the light shade in the foreground merges softly into deep black in the upper part of the picture by the lighting of the streetlamp in Freytag’s photo.
