Molas Pass, Colorado c. 1950s

"Molas Pass, Colorado" (c. 1950s) is a colorful landscape print by American artist Alfred Wands. The artwork depicts a serene vista of a mountain lake, with a towering pine tree in the foreground and a snow-capped mountain range in the distance. Two figures on horseback add a sense of scale and activity to the composition, while the overall tone is one of tranquility and beauty. Wands was known for his depictions of the American West and his work often captured the rugged beauty of the landscape. The use of flat planes of color in this print is reminiscent of the style of American Regionalism, a movement that emerged in the 1920s and 1930s and emphasized the everyday life and landscapes of the United States.
