Stuart Davis

New Mexican Landscape
1923

A colorful painting depicting a desert landscape with a cluster of adobe buildings in the foreground on a pinkish terrain. The middle ground shows rolling hills with sparse vegetation, and the background features a range of blue mountains under a sky with scattered clouds. The painting has a stylized, almost childlike quality, with bold outlines and flat areas of color.
