Mortimer Borne

Associated Names

Mortimer Borne

Artist, American, born Poland, 1900 - 1987

The image depicts a winding path through a forest with tall trees, dense foliage, and no distinct horizon. The brushstrokes are textured and expressive, creating vibrant leaves. The color palette includes shades of green, blue, and earthy browns. Thick-trunked trees with wide branches cast dappled shadows on the light-colored path. In the distance, there is a suggestion of a structure or houses partially hidden among the trees.
