About the Item

Atmospheric 20th-century black and white photograph by American photographer Harold E. Malde (1923–2007), featuring an abandoned Victorian-style house shrouded in wild, overgrown vegetation. The stark contrast between the decaying architecture and the untamed landscape creates a haunting and evocative image, rich in texture and emotion. Malde’s expert use of light and shadow highlights the quiet drama of the scene, evoking themes of time, solitude, and memory. Presented in an archival matte. Image size: 10 x 13.25 inches Matte outer dimensions: 16.5 x 19.5 inches About the Artist: Harold E. Malde was a Colorado-based photographer known for his sensitive and meditative black and white landscapes and architectural studies. A student of Ansel Adams, Malde was deeply influenced by Adams’ emphasis on clarity, tonal range, and emotional resonance. His photographs often explore themes of nature, abandonment, and the passage of time. His work is held in private collections and institutional archives across the American West.

1970s Mid-Century Minimalist Black & White Abstract Oil by Edward Chavez
By Edward Chavez
Located in Denver, CO
This striking black and white abstract oil painting was created circa 1975 by celebrated American modernist Edward (Eduardo) Arcenio Chavez (1917–1995). Boldly rendered in shades of black, gray, and white, the composition exemplifies Chavez’s refined minimalist aesthetic, rooted in mid-century modern art.
