Jake Berthot

Artist, American, 1939 - 2014

The image features dark, sweeping strokes and smudges creating textured lines and forms. The composition resembles a rugged landscape with a cliff edge on the left side, tapering off into a valley-like form. Varying shades of black and gray suggest shadow and depth, like eroded terrain or the rough surface of charcoal on canvas.
