Quietude 1938

Charles M. Capps' 1938 print "Quietude" depicts a tranquil scene of a small adobe house, with a stone wall in the foreground. The artist, known for his depictions of Southwestern landscapes, masterfully uses shading and detail to create a sense of stillness and peace. The print's subdued tones and focus on architectural details make it a prime example of Capps' mastery of the medium. This print is a testament to the serenity of rural life in the Southwest and the artistic vision of Capps. The quiet, almost dreamlike nature of the work is accentuated by the subtle use of light and shadow. "Quietude" is a remarkable example of Charles M. Capps's artistic skill and his appreciation for the American Southwest.
