Associated Names

Richard Day

Artist, American, born Canada, 1896 - 1972

The image shows a landscape with angular mountain peaks against a gray sky. The mountains are geometrically rendered, giving a faceted appearance. The color palette is monochromatic, emphasizing form. Triangular shapes near the viewer suggest a body of water. The mountains overlap and recede in the distance, adding depth. The sky has softly graduated bands of gray.
