Bermuda Bound 1940

"Bermuda Bound" (1940) by Gladys Kleinman is a gouache painting featuring a woman in a pink dress and a large hat, strolling through a vibrant landscape filled with trees, flowers, and a whimsical cast of figures soaring through the air. Kleinman's use of bold colors and simple forms, reminiscent of folk art, creates a lively and playful atmosphere. The painting, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, captures the spirit of a carefree summer day and hints at the allure of Bermuda as a popular travel destination in the early 20th century.
