Conrad Buff (American, 1886-1975) Mount Jacinto, n.d.
Oil on board Board: 20” x 30” Frame: 25” x 35” Signed Lower Right: CONRAD BUFF
Desert hills enshrouded in hazy blue shadows serve as the backdrop to the liveliness of sharp greens and yellows in the foreground. The geometric brushwork is still quintessentially Buff, but its subdued quality results in a composition that bridges his characteristic abstraction with nuanced realism.
