More about this artwork

In this painting, abstract forms and fragmented geometrical shapes create an almost kaleidoscopic view that appears to depict both architectural elements and natural forms. Muted tones of beige, gray, and white dominate the composition, accented by the bold use of red and hints of green, suggesting structures intermingled with vegetation. The interplay of color and shape gives a sense of both depth and flatness, where certain elements seem to recede while others advance. The painting evokes a dream-like atmosphere where the recognizable elements of roofs and trees are deconstructed and reassembled in a fantastical, almost surreal arrangement.

Charles Demuth (1883-1935) was one of the leading artists during the American Modernism era. He was distinguished for intimate watercolors and cubic architectural paintings. Demuth studied art at Académie Julian in Paris, where he was welcomed into the avant-garde art scene and met other American Cubism artists like Marsden Hartley. His watercolor figures have a weightless and surrealistic character with a sensitive linear style, in which he illustrated plays and novels such as Émile Zola's Nana. He also depicted an evolving gay scene of encounters at bath houses through watercolors for his close friends, like the "Turkish Bath", works that now are of great historical significance. Demuth later employed a cubist technique by painting industrial factories with complex structural planes, leading him to becoming a pioneer for the precisionist movement.
