In "Palm Trees, Los Angeles," Glen Wilbert photographs a long row of palm trees lined up behind a concrete wall, the wall cutting across the frame on a strong diagonal so the palms appear to climb from the lower left to the upper right against a clear blue sky.
The composition is built on a single diagonal: the plain gray wall divides the picture corner to corner, with the evenly spaced palm trunks rising behind it and growing taller toward the right. Glen shot from a low angle along the wall so the perspective compresses the trees into a receding rhythm of vertical lines. The palette is soft and sun-faded, the blue sky and tan concrete kept gentle, with the green palm crowns the only strong color.
This is a Los Angeles street scene reduced to its simplest elements, the row of palms and the diagonal wall. The deadpan framing and repetition recall the Los Angeles photography of Ed Ruscha.
A study in pastel color and diagonal line, where a row of palms becomes a simple receding rhythm.
