Joseph Yoakum

Artist, American, 1890 - 1972

A mountain range, lake, and forest dominate the landscape in this horizontal, colored drawing on paper. The terrain and trees of the mountains are drawn with outlined areas of flat color in ivory, parchment yellow, smoke gray, pinkish-beige, and teal green. A valley of evergreen trees and a baby-blue lake spans the bottom third of the drawing. A hand-written inscription in the top left of the pale blue sky reads, “Briar Head mtn of National Park Range of Bryce Canyon National Park near Hatch Utah U.S.A by Joseph E. Yoakum.”
