Bruce Alan McClain

Landscape Entombed
1962

Abstract painting with a blend of dark and warm tones, featuring browns, blacks, yellows, and whites. The composition suggests a landscape with a central, tree-like form that splinters across the canvas, surrounded by what could be interpreted as fields or horizons. The textures vary from smooth washes to thick, expressive splatters and drips.
