Landscape with Flower and Figures 19th-20th century

Curator: Looking at Denman Waldo Ross's "Landscape with Flower and Figures," it strikes me as a rather humble affair. Editor: Humble, yes, but also a deliberate study in the application of paint, wouldn't you say? Look at the ground, the almost frantic energy of the brushstrokes. Curator: True, but it is hard to not look at this flower and figure and think, there is something almost naive and child-like. Editor: It could very well be a deliberate decision to echo the labor and craftsmanship of amateur art. Curator: Perhaps, but I am happy to enjoy this humble beauty. Editor: And I am glad to know it might challenge our traditional notions of art.
