PH 77 1936

"PH 77" (1936), by American artist Clyfford Still, depicts two figures working in a field. The painting's bold colors, thick brushstrokes, and simplified forms are characteristic of Still's early work, which often explored themes of labor, nature, and the human condition. The figures in "PH 77" are rendered with a sense of both strength and vulnerability, highlighting the physicality of manual labor. This artwork reflects the social realist style of the 1930s, which sought to depict the lives and struggles of ordinary people.
