Fire Swept Hills 1915 — Fine Art

Fire Swept Hills 1915 shows a hillside after a pass of flame. Burnt patches sit in the foreground and the trees stand dark against a pale sky. The colour moves from brown and black in the ground up to a thin band of smoke.

This fine art print sits on a pale wall at eye level. The matte surface keeps the dark marks from shining under a lamp. A dark frame meets a pale wall so the hill shapes stay clear.

On a hallway wall, from the door you see the burnt ground first. The trees read as thin lines from across the room. Near the frame the smoke band softens into the paper.
