Road through the Hollow 1938

"Road through the Hollow" is an oil on canvas painting by Russell Cowles, created in 1938. The painting depicts a wintery landscape with a road winding through a snow-covered valley. The snow is painted in a thick, impasto style, adding a sense of texture to the work. The trees are stark and bare, their branches reaching towards the sky, creating a sense of isolation and solitude. The overall tone of the painting is quiet and contemplative, inviting viewers to reflect on the beauty of the natural world. The work is currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
