Surf Casters c. 1935 - 1939

"Surf Casters" is a lithograph created by American artist Dayton Brandfield between 1935 and 1939. The piece depicts three figures fishing on a beach with the shoreline and the ocean as the focal point. The artist uses a dramatic contrast of light and dark, creating an expressive and dynamic scene. The composition's strong diagonal lines and the dynamic lines of the waves create a sense of movement and energy. The work captures a moment in time and conveys a feeling of tranquility and solitude, and serves as a poignant depiction of leisure and the natural world.
