Modernism

These works move between quiet landscape and sharp geometric abstraction, with figures reduced to clean lines and flat planes of color. Buildings, barns, flowers, and portraits all get pared down to their essential shapes, as in "Berlin Abstraction" by Marsden Hartley, favoring structure over detail. Even the later pop-inflected pieces keep that same flattened, graphic clarity.
