Crimson Barns at Dusk

A vibrant expressionist mid-century landscape captures a rustic rural scene bathed in the warm glow of a setting sun, executed in oil onto board.

A winding path leads the viewer’s eye into the composition, where clusters of red barns and a white farmhouse sit nestled among rolling green fields and deep blue hills. The horizon blazes with golden and amber tones, suggesting the fleeting light of early evening.

Executed in a bold, expressionistic style, the artist has used thick, confident impasto brushstrokes, allowing the paint to stand proud from the surface and convey a palpable sense of texture and movement. Colours are rich and saturated – crimson, emerald, orange, violet, and cobalt – layered to create depth and contrast. The sweeping strokes in the sky and land give the work a sense of energy and immediacy, while the simplified forms evoke a nostalgic charm.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary light wood frame with an inner linen-lining and gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.  The frame has some marks present but is in good condition overall.
