Frightened Deer in Moonlight 1932

"Frightened Deer in Moonlight" is an oil on canvas painting by American artist Karl Knaths, created in 1932. The painting depicts two deer in a moonlit landscape, captured in a moment of heightened awareness. Knaths's signature style is evident in the bold, geometric shapes and simplified forms, which contribute to the painting's sense of both realism and abstraction. The use of cool blues and greens evokes a sense of twilight, creating a mysterious and evocative atmosphere. The scene is reminiscent of the American wilderness and highlights Knaths's keen observation of nature.
