View I 1998

"View I" is a 1998 lithograph by Ruth Fine, born in 1941, and is part of her series of landscape studies. Fine’s signature style is visible in the use of loose, expressive lines that create a sense of depth and movement. The image is dominated by a single tree, its branches rendered in bold, black strokes. The background is composed of a series of diagonal lines suggesting the ground and sky. The image is a study of the interplay of light and shadow, with the tree casting long shadows. This print is a testament to Fine’s keen observation and ability to capture the essence of nature.
