Norbert Smith

Artist, American, active 20th century

This is a painting of a house with an abstract representation. The scene depicts a house that is constructed with a series of geometric shapes and a play of light and shadow. The contrast between dark and light areas creates a sense of depth, and the use of texture provides a tactile quality to the surfaces. The composition includes large triangular and rectangular sections that appear to form the roof and walls, while other shapes suggest windows and a door. The surroundings are indistinct, adding to the focus on the structure itself.
