Thick, mosaic-like brushstrokes combine with a fragmented perspective to represent the sensory experience rather than the scene itself. The sculptural application of paint creates a rich, tactile surface, with mounds of color rising to echo the rough texture of the sunburnt grass, the worn buildings, and the hazy summertime sky. The Cubist viewpoint invites us to navigate the scene as if wandering through it, creating a detached nostalgia for a backyard suburban past. Framed. See less
