Bruce Crane is a celebrated and renowned American landscape painter of autumnal and twilight scenes with a particular fondness for depicting seasonal views, often choosing unassuming points in nature. Applying both light and dark tone in low-key pigments of mauve, russet and brown, Crane succeeds in an effect that emphasizes the bleakness and desolateness of winter tide’s sleeping vegetation.
