Nesin, George (1889-1962) "The Pasture Lot"

Possibly inspired by a time spent farming in Massachusetts, Nesin’s painting radically flattens the landscape into a tapestry: sky and trees cascade down toward cows behind a fence at bottom. Somewhat abstracted forms give a pleasing roundness and regularity to nature. Nesin appears to set against this a few eccentric details, like a pair of boulders or a crooking fence rail, in the service of visual tension.
