Paul Strand

This piece was created by Paul Strand called White Fence.  Strand demonstrates foreshortening in this work by using the fence as the closer extremity that allows for the distortion of a large yard behind it because of the point of view.  Axonometric projection is used because the fence changes the scale of the house, giving the illusion that the fence is larger than the house.
