Artists Sketching 1916

Charles Demuth's 1916 watercolor "Artists Sketching" depicts a group of artists, likely in an outdoor setting, engrossed in their work. The composition is abstract, with the figures and their surroundings rendered in a simplified, geometric style. Demuth's signature use of muted colors, particularly shades of blue, green, and brown, contributes to the painting's evocative and atmospheric quality. This piece exemplifies Demuth's exploration of modern art, combining elements of Precisionism and Cubism.
