Max Roeder, German 1866-1947
Iphigenie, 100 x 125cm
This work, by the symbolist painter, Max Roeder, combines receding horizontal and vertical lines - waves and clefts in the cliffs. The white figure looking out to sea seems to be echoed in negative in the shadowy sea cave.
Robert Henri - American 1865-1929
Rocks and Sea - Monhegan Island, 20 x 25 cm
In earlier posts we discussed the idea of framing the sea with rocks on either side, to avoid a lopsided composition with a vertical element on one side, and a horizontal one on the other. In this work, it appears as if the mass of rock on the right side was added later, for this reason.
