About the Item
This painting, created with vibrant oil sticks on a wood panel, showcases a rich texture and bold, dynamic colors. The direct application of the oil stick gives the artwork a tactile, expressive quality, with gestural marks adding energy and movement. At the heart of the composition stands a Joshua tree, centered against a desert landscape. Named after the biblical prophet Joshua, the tree's distinctive shape inspired Mormon pioneers, who saw its outstretched limbs as a symbol of guidance and supplication during their westward journey. The Joshua tree's twisted branches and remarkable ability to thrive in the harsh desert embody resilience, wonder, and serve as a powerful symbol of hope and faith.
This painting is signed on the back.

Dana Frankfort
In the middle of the road, 2017
oil on canvas over panel
48 x 48 x 1.75 inches
For over two decades, Dana Frankfort has explored the vexing periphery between language and sight by painting words. Rather than laying claim to the paintings, controlling their semiotic pulse, her words serve as the formal armature; they prop up, ventilate, and allow the many layers of paint to breathe. Imperatives, allusions, evocations—the words dissolve into a palimpsest of obscured serifs and stems, into color and form.
The title of the work is a phrase from a poem by Carlos Drummond de
Andrade’s “In the Middle of Road.” Here it is, translated from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Bishop...
