"Village in the Sun," a 1951 print by Charles M. Capps, depicts a serene southwestern village nestled beneath a majestic mountain range. Capps, known for his evocative black and white prints, captures the essence of the landscape, using subtle shading and linework to convey the soft light of the sun on the adobe buildings and the distant mountains. The print's composition draws the viewer's eye towards the village, highlighting its quiet charm and inviting atmosphere. This artwork is a testament to Capps's masterful ability to translate the beauty of the American Southwest onto paper.
