Name/Title
Ramer, Nathanial [Nat] (1904-1987) "Fishkill Fields"Entry/Object ID
2025.900.FA18248Description
Using a fairly flat picture plane, Ramer uses an array of muted colors to depict a rural scene in Duchess County (mountains in the background may be the Fishkill range). The composition is balanced between an aging tree at left, a windmill at right. Between them is an area somewhat nebulous in its use; colors may indicate corn tassels, or simply overgrown fields. The building seems in good repair, however, so its effect is to serve as antipole to the largely natural landscape.Collection
