Earthy tones laid down in broad horizontals break to reveal a channel of light. The sun, wrapped in a turbulent swirl of clouds, emanates from behind cover. On the right, the dark form of a tree in near silhouette cuts into view. Its forceful branches comparable to an explosion. While in the distance, the horizon appears between layers of daubed foliage.
Little is known about Fritz Heider, which is surprising given his accomplished expressive style.
