Deer in a Deep Woods
Ralph Albert Blakelock
Description
Subject Matter:
Blakelock eschewed a literal transcription of nature, preferring to paint evocative and emotional paintings of illuminated moments in nature, of moonlit landscapes depicting the wilderness and solitude. “Deer in a Deep Woods” includes a solitary figure of deer absorbed into the setting rather than being the focus of the painting, and is imbued with a melancholy drawn from Blakelock’s deeply felt response to nature.
Physical Description:
Landscape painting depicting trees with a solitary deer in the center of the canvas
