AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This silkscreen from 1984 shows a strongly simplified landscape in which farms or barns are placed against each other as geometric shapes. Scheffer uses soft tints of yellow, orange, and green and largely leaves details out, making the landscape almost abstract. The large green foreground, the rhythmic yellow field, and the angular buildings give the composition a calm, clear structure. The print is marked as 'Asfeld', an épreuve d’artiste (artist's proof), and it nicely shows how Scheffer reduces a recognizable landscape to color fields, lines, and rhythm.
Harr Scheffer (1937–2016) was a Dutch visual artist and graphic artist. In his work, the landscape played an important role, with which he often simplified the visible reality into clear, almost abstract compositions. Especially in his graphic work, he used sharply bounded color fields and a balanced division of space. His subjects are typically sober and still: houses, fields, and other elements of the landscape are not depicted realistically, but converted into shapes and colors. Thus his work sits on an interesting boundary between figuration and geometric abstraction.
