Allen Dutton

Artist, American, 1922 - 2017

The image shows a view from a low angle of parallel furrows stretching into the distance, converging at a distant point near the horizon. Mountains rise in the center background, adding texture to the flat terrain. The sky is overcast with diffused light softening the contrast. The landscape is monochrome, lacking color and emphasizing gray, black, and white tones. The sharpness of the image brings out textures in the soil and details of the mountains, creating a sense of open space.
