This image is created with black ink on paper. At the right of this print, a woman sweeps the ground. To her left is a domestic building that is missing siding and appears to be boarded up in places. Another figure sits on its porch, and a fence surrounds the property behind the building. That fence encloses another building that is behind the sweeping woman. Houses rise on a hillside in the distant background.
A vibrant, boldly patterned composition in black, white, and shades of red, in which a black woman in a striped dress and black man wearing white trousers, a black jacket, and white bowler hat dance in the foreground. A third figure looks on from the upper right corner of the composition.
Fruit Stand, Sidewalk, Memphis, Tenn. 1966, William Christenberry, dye transfer print
This image is created with black ink on paper. Two women stand in a yard, with one speaking over a fence and the other speaking off of the porch of a house. To the left of these women is another, unoccupied porch with a porch swing. The yard is fenced, and the view of the woman standing on the ground speaking is partially obscured by the fence’s wire. A wired gate is to the right of the wire fence, and behind it on the right of the composition is a leafy tree.
