Bohemian Landscape
c. 1920–1921

A vibrant, expressionist painting depicting a colorful landscape with abstracted forms of trees, houses, and hills. The brushwork is loose and fluid, with a rich palette of oranges, blues, greens, and purples creating a sense of movement and light throughout the composition. The artist's signature is visible in the lower left corner.
