Roy Lichtenstein

Artist, American, 1923 - 1997

The image displays a landscape from an elevated point of view. Small buildings are seen among trees and hills. The horizon is placed relatively high in the composition, defined by softly undulating hills and a hint of pale sky above. The artist uses expressive and energetic brushstrokes. The color palette includes earthy browns and greens for the trees and hills, with splashes of red, yellow, and blue. Close to us, tree trunks and leaves create a natural frame, while the scene unfolds into the distance, where the buildings sit highlighted by strokes of yellow and blue, creating a sense of depth.
