Conrad Buff (American, 1886-1975) Desert Landscape with Cactus, n.d.
Oil on canvas Canvas: 24” x 36” Frame: 26” x 37.25”
Along with the cacti and rocks that puncture the landscape, the arid terrain is enlivened with confetti-like splashes of blue, yellow, green, and magenta. Deep shadows and cross-hatching add dimension, resulting in a vivid portrayal of the desert that harmonizes color, form, and modernist style.
