Thomas Hart Benton

House in Cubist Landscape
c. 1915–1920

A vibrant watercolor painting featuring abstract geometric shapes in bold colors such as red, green, blue, and brown, with intersecting lines and planes creating a sense of depth and movement. The artwork is on textured paper with rough edges, suggesting it may be a study or a finished piece in an expressionist or cubist style.
