The artwork titled “Sketch Painted in Santa Fe, New Mexico,” created by Lawren Harris in 1944, belongs to the Abstract Art movement and is classified as abstract.
In the artwork, there is a prominence of geometric shapes and a subtle, earthen color palette. A triangular form, highlighted by contrasting light and shadow, dominates the upper portion and seems to be suspended or emerging from the darker background. Below it, complex overlapping angular shapes and three spherical forms—one white, one black, and one blue—create a dynamic composition on a similarly earthy-toned backdrop. The juxtaposition of stark geometry and muted hues suggests a contemplative abstraction, inviting viewers to explore the relationship between form and color.
