Various Small Fires and Milk

Edward Ruscha's 'Various Small Fires and Milk' is a seminal artist's book that exemplifies the artist's exploration of everyday objects through photography. The book consists of black and white photographs of small fires, such as matches and candles, concluding with an image of a glass of milk. This work is part of Ruscha's series of self-published books that challenge traditional art forms and blur the lines between art and documentation.
