Marion Greenstone, Abstracted Rural Landscape Oil on Canvas (20th century)

Description This painting by Marion Greenstone transports you to another place -- to Vermont, upstate New York, or an Italian hillside. In an essay by Bryony Roberts, found on the website dedicated to the life and work of Marion Greenstone, Roberts wrote that "from the late 1970s through the 1990s, Greenstone produced an astonishing number of large-scale abstract paintings. Inspired often by shells and landscapes, the radiant paintings have sweeping, layered forms. The influence of Georgia O'Keefe and Mark Rothko, two of her favorite artists, can be seen in her use of warm, vibrant colors and natural shapes. Greenstone applied very thin paint with brushy marks to create delicate but glowing surfaces."  Although this painting has no date, we imagine that this painting is from this especially productive and successful period of Greenstone's long and varied career.   Details Marion Greenstone (American, 1925-2005) Untitled  Oil on canvas Signed in lower right hand corner 49 3/4" x 61
