Summer Fields

This conversation is connected to Summer Fields.

A minimalist landscape dominated by a vast, flat expanse of pale yellow fields. The foreground is dotted with a few dark, indistinct, rounded green bushes. Above the high horizon line, a pale, hazy grey sky is broken by the solid, luminous circle of an orange sun. Beckett's commitment to Tonalism is evident in her rejection of hard lines and complex textures; instead, she uses subtle color gradations and simplified, almost geometric forms to document the heat and heavy atmosphere of the Australian summer.
