This watercolor painting is a study of Etel Adnan's colorful abstract landscapes. Etel Adnan was a Lebanese-American poet, essayist, and visual artist who called the Bay Area home. Her paintings of vivid, abstract landscapes feature bold, simplified forms: mountains, suns, and horizons, rendered with a clarity and resonance that belies their minimalism. Her works exude a sense of immediacy and intimacy, utilizing a bold palette that suggests both place and feeling without literal representation.
