The artwork titled “Mountain Landscape,” created by Horace Pippin in 1936, belongs to the art movement known as Expressionism and falls under the genre of landscape painting.
This artwork depicts a serene and majestic mountain range under the twilight sky. The towering mountains, covered partially with snow, stretch upwards, creating a strong sense of depth and grandeur. The dense forest of dark evergreen trees in the foreground contrasts with the lighter hues of the mountains, adding to the dramatic effect. The pathway meandering through the forest invites the viewer to journey into the peaceful wilderness. The color palette, predominantly consisting of shades of blue and green, evokes a tranquil and contemplative mood, characteristic of Expressionist landscapes. Horace Pippin’s detailed rendering and use of light and shadow artfully convey the serene beauty and solemnity of nature.
