Corn Shocks and Jump Mountain 1950

"Corn Shocks and Jump Mountain," a 1950 watercolor by Pierre Daura, depicts a pastoral landscape with a charming simplicity. The composition is dominated by a field of corn shocks, their golden hues contrasting with the deep purple of a mountain in the background. A small red farmhouse sits nestled in the valley, adding a touch of human presence to the scene. Daura, a Spanish-born artist known for his vibrant use of color, captures the tranquility of the rural landscape with a gentle touch.
