Dusk 1940

Theodore C. Polos's 1940 lithograph "Dusk" is a striking depiction of a small town nestled amongst rolling hills. The artist uses a masterful blend of light and shadow to create a sense of atmospheric depth. With its somber palette and simplified forms, the work captures the tranquility of a late evening in a suburban setting. The subject matter of "Dusk" exemplifies Polos's interest in exploring the beauty of everyday life, particularly in rural America. The use of lithography, a printing technique, highlights the texture and dimensionality of the landscape.
