George Bunker

Artist, American, 1923 - 1991

The image shows a sketch from an elevated viewpoint, depicting a landscape. The horizon is at the top with loose lines indicating a forest silhouette. The sketch uses expressive brushstrokes with dark lines on a white background. Abstract shapes represent rocks or terrain, with added texture and motion. In the distance, more abstract shapes lead to a tree line on the horizon, suggested by vertical strokes for tall trees.
