| Bethlehem, Graveyard and Steel Mill - Walker Evans 1935
I think the point of view is sad, especially because the picture is in black and white. When you look out all you can see is the graveyard, all the telephone poles, and just buildings. The view is kind of boring and with how boring it is it can make you sad. I think this could be considered an art because of the emotion this pictures give you. Landscape can give someone a lot of emotions, it can make someone happy, sad, annoyed, bored, or tired. Art is supposed to give you an emotion and this is a good example.
