The Desert 1938

John Ferren’s 1938 abstract oil painting, “The Desert,” exemplifies the artist’s exploration of geometric forms and vibrant color. The work is dominated by angular shapes and sharp lines, creating a sense of dynamism and movement. The use of bold, saturated hues, such as red, blue, yellow, and green, further emphasizes the abstract composition and adds a sense of energy to the painting. Ferren, known for his contributions to abstract art, was influenced by the Cubist and Constructivist movements, evident in his fragmented forms and emphasis on geometric structure.
