The sunset dominates the upper half of the composition, its light pressing down against the darkened greens of the hill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"848\" data-start=\"567\"\u003eThe surface is heavily worked. Impasto is pronounced, with directional striations carving movement across the sky and land. The paint appears applied with a palette knife, the material relief becoming integral to the structure of the scene. Texture carries as much weight as color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1061\" data-start=\"850\"\u003eAt the summit, a compact form rises against the sky, ambiguous in nature, perhaps a shrub, a small structure, or a haystack. Its indistinct identity reinforces the painting’s expressive, almost abstract quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1230\" data-start=\"1063\"\u003eExecuted in 1934, the work reflects a moment when gesture and surface began to rival naturalistic description.

The lower right corner is not rounded in the same way as the others, but this does not appear to result from damage and is likely due to the original shape of the cardboard. The upper left corner presents losses and minor accidents, and there are small losses along the edges consistent with past framing. \u003cspan class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: Oil painting on \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ehard carton. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipped with DHL: Complimentary shipping to the US and Europe.
