Byron Browne was a well known abstract painter who helped found the American Abstract Artists in 1936, a group of artists in New York City that aimed to foster a public understanding of abstract art. He famously, however, rejected non-objective art, and believed in the primacy of nature. He argued that all shapes, forms, colors, and combinations exist in nature itself. This is visible in his abstract scene of the sunset in the dunes, a piece with diverse textural variation and a stylized color palette.Acquisition
