Abraham Harriton

Sunset and Storm over Provincetown
c. 1955

An expressionist-style painting depicting a dramatic landscape with bare, twisted trees in the foreground and a small town with pointed spires in the distance. Dark, swirling clouds dominate the sky, with rays of light breaking through to highlight parts of the landscape and a red sun or moon. The brushwork is thick and textured, conveying a sense of movement and emotion.
