Bermuda No. 1, Tree and House 1917

"Bermuda No. 1, Tree and House" (1917) by Charles Demuth is a watercolor painting that embodies the artist's signature Precisionist style. Demuth is known for his sharp geometric forms and precise renderings, and this work perfectly captures his approach. The piece depicts a simplified, geometric landscape with a prominent tree, a house, and a sense of depth achieved through overlapping planes. Demuth's use of muted colors and subtle shading enhances the painting's geometric composition, making it a compelling example of Precisionism, an art movement that emerged in the early 20th century, capturing the industrial and technological advancements of the time.
