AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This silkscreen by Harr Scheffer from 1983 shows a strongly simplified, almost abstract landscape built up of broad, gently undulating color fields. In subdued tones of ocher, pink, beige and greenish gray, Scheffer suggests an expansive landscape with hills or fields stretching in layers toward the horizon. Almost all recognizable details have been omitted, making color, space and rhythm decisive for the depiction. The subtle transitions and the calm color palette give the work a tranquil, almost dreamlike atmosphere.
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 visible reality to clear, almost abstract compositions. Especially in his graphics he used sharply bounded color fields and a balanced distribution of planes. His works are generally sober and tranquil: houses, fields and other landscape elements are not rendered realistically, but converted into forms and colors. Thus his work sits on an interesting boundary between figuration and geometric abstraction.
