Lois Dodd
Boulder and Tree

1990

About the Item

Lois Dodd’s Boulder and Tree beautifully captures the harmonious simplicity of nature, highlighting her distinctively expressive approach to landscape painting. This 1990 artwork engages the viewer through its vibrant, lyrical depiction of natural forms, with Dodd's confident, direct brushwork conveying both immediacy and poetic charm. Rich greens, soft pinks, and hints of warm yellows create an inviting atmosphere, evoking a gentle yet energized impression of the outdoors. The interplay of solid, grounded forms—the steadfast boulder and the gracefully inclined tree—illustrates Dodd's talent for balancing abstract elements with recognizable imagery. Celebrated as an influential figure in American realism and a pivotal member of the post-war New York art scene, Dodd continues to inspire through her fresh, contemplative renderings of everyday scenes. Boulder and Tree exemplifies her enduring ability to transform the familiar into something extraordinary.
