DescriptionImage of the view from car's interior, looking out window, which frames a herd of buffalo in distance.Exhibition HistoryRotation 23. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City,
MO, January 18 – May 28, 2017, no cat.
Everything within Lee Friedlander’s frame, no matter how mundane, becomes integral to the picture. In this playful image taken on a cross-country trip, Friedlander aligns the open car window with a line of cattle in the distance. Using flash to illuminate the car’s interior, he further complicates the photograph by giving all visual components equal weight.
