Rita Derjue
21st Century Abstract South Western Landscape Diptych Acrylic Painting, Rock For

circa 2013

About the Item

Vibrant and expressive, this circa 2013 acrylic on canvas diptych by noted Colorado artist Rita Derjue (1934–2020) captures a dynamic abstract interpretation of Southwestern rock formations. Executed in a bold, layered style, the joined diptych format enhances the sense of expansive landscape and geological movement. Derjue’s signature rich Southwestern palette—featuring earthy reds, sunlit ochres, deep purples, and desert-inspired tones—evokes the rugged beauty of the American Southwest. The work is professionally presented in a custom frame with outer dimensions of 20.25 x 50 x 1.25 inches. The combined image size measures 17.5 x 47.25 inches, making it a commanding statement piece for modern and contemporary interiors. A striking example of Derjue’s painterly approach to abstract landscapes.
