Desert Landscape 1951

"Desert Landscape" is an abstract painting by American artist John Ferren, created in 1951. The painting features a vibrant, almost shimmering palette of yellows, browns, and grays, creating a sense of depth and movement. Ferren's use of abstract shapes and forms, reminiscent of landscapes, suggests the artist's fascination with nature and its transformation into abstract art. The painting is a prime example of mid-century abstract art, characterized by its lyrical yet geometric forms, echoing the influence of Abstract Expressionism.
