Coal Company Town in Jenkins 1935 — Fine Art

Coal Company Town in Jenkins 1935 shows a row of connected buildings set against a hard sky. The picture leans on black and grey shapes with a few flat red notes. People and chimneys stand out in the same flat way.

The style follows american social realism from the nineteen thirties. The fine art print hangs on a wall that needs a steady view. A light frame sits on a dark wall, or a dark frame on a pale wall.

Wood beside wooden furniture matches a room with chairs or tables. You see the blocks of the town from the kitchen doorway. The roof lines stay clear from that distance. The rungs of the chair rail catch the eye at a medium distance.
