Flatland River 1997

"Flatland River" (1997) by Wayne Thiebaud is an oil painting of a bucolic landscape. The painting features a winding river that cuts through a field of trees and crops, all rendered in a style that is characteristic of Thiebaud's work. The artist's bold use of color and his distinctive brushstrokes create a sense of both realism and abstraction, evoking a feeling of serenity and peaceful contemplation. The composition is organized around the river, which acts as a visual pathway leading the viewer's eye through the scene. The painting is currently on display at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA).
