Charles Sheeler

On a Connecticut Theme
1958

A painting featuring a stylized architectural landscape composed of geometric shapes and planes in a variety of colors, predominantly shades of blue, purple, white, and brown. The abstract depiction of buildings conveys a sense of modernist design, with sharp angles and flat surfaces creating a fragmented, cubist effect. The artwork is signed and dated in the lower right corner.
