Seymour Arm from Plateau

Medium
graphite on paper
Dimensions
20 x 25.5 cm
Description
Three trees set in foreground right, to left of is a valley with winding path/water. Hills in distance set in centre.“This is a fine example of Collings’ late work. Sweeping curvilinear lines imbue it with a poetic serenity, while the upright lines of a tree on the extreme right serve to stabilize the whole. The artist increasingly restricted his darkest tones in his mature work, opening up his pictures and enhancing the impression of vastness so characteristic of his Rocky Mountain scenes.” -- “Charles John Collings, 1848-1931” Catalogue Raisonne by Linda Heath

Description
Scene of buildings situated on top of a hill, with some more below these upon appendage-like stilts. - there is one building in the immediate forground right.“A full range of tones evenly dapple this sketch moving the viewer’s eye easily about it. Collings sketched the town from the base of a hall looking up; the result is fresh and spontaneous but clearly exhibits Collings’ superb control and concise line at this late stage of his career.” -- “Charles John Collings, 1848-1931” Catalogue Raisonne by Linda Heath
