An evocative original graphite drawing by American artist Boardman Robinson (1876–1952), capturing the rugged beauty of the Colorado mountains through expressive linework and a beautifully restrained modernist composition. Rendered in graphite on paper, this intimate mountain landscape balances the grandeur of the American West with the subtlety of a skilled draftsman. Robinson’s confident lines and thoughtful use of space give the landscape a sense of depth and movement, while the monochromatic palette lends the work a timeless quality that complements both traditional and contemporary interiors. The drawing is signed in the lower right and inscribed “For Louise Baun” in the lower left, adding a personal detail to its history. Robinson was a significant figure in early 20th-century American art, known for his illustration, mural painting, and work within the American Modernist tradition. After moving to Colorado Springs in 1930, he became closely associated with the region’s artistic community, making this mountain landscape particularly resonant within his broader career.

Richard Sorby (American, 1911–2001) Modernist Forest Landscape, circa 1940 Watercolor on paper Signed lower right Image: 22¾ × 14¾ inches Framed: 26½ × 18½ × 1 inches A refined example of early American Modernism, this original watercolor by celebrated Colorado artist Richard Sorby captures a forest landscape through a sophisticated modernist lens. Created circa 1940, the work demonstrates Sorby's ability to balance recognizable natural forms with abstraction, transforming a quiet woodland scene into an exploration of color, structure, and atmosphere. Stylized vertical tree forms dominate the composition, arranged in a rhythmic pattern of deep greens, blues, and blacks accented by warm earth tones of brown, orange, and white. Through expressive watercolor washes and simplified shapes, Sorby creates a sense of depth and movement while preserving the tranquility of the natural environment. The result is a poetic landscape that bridges American Modernism, regional Colorado art, and the evolving language of twentieth-century abstraction. Richard Sorby was an important figure in the development of modern art in Colorado. After earning his BFA from Colorado State College of Education (now the University of Northern Colorado), he studied with influential artists including Vance Kirkland and William Joseph Eastman...

Canyon Country by Lu Haskew Pastel 16x20" image size Additional images available upon request. Landscape view of the Grand Canyon ABOUT THE ARTIST: Lu Haskew 1921-2009 "Life is good to me. Being able to go to my studio five days weekly and paint for several hours, living in a supportive community, having family and friends who encourage me--all have contributed to helping me become an artist. Being fortunate to study with some of the artists I admire has kept me painting from the garden, people and my favorite things. With the support of galleries, teaching and doing demos, how could I do anything else? My goal is to try to be the best I can be by always being a student, looking for new ideas and stretching my horizons." Upon retirement from a 33-year teaching career, Lu rented a studio in Loveland and began concentrating on her oil and watercolor painting. Learning from artists she had followed and admired throughout the years her painting became a full time career. Since 1992, she has studied with renowned painters Richard Schmid, Clyde Aspevig, Joyce Pike, and others at the Scottsdale Art...
