The Village Square

Albert William Heckman

Associated Names

Albert William Heckman

Artist, American, 1893 - 1971

The image shows a bird's-eye view of a village square with rolling hills in the background. At the top left corner is a leafless tree against the hills. The brushstrokes are fine and precise, creating a textural village landscape. The color palette includes black, white, and gray. Buildings with steep roofs are clustered around two stylized trees. Further away, geometric buildings cast shadows. Two small figures stand near a doorway on the right side.
