Executed in cool greens, rose pink, and assorted muted pastels. Fields incorporates multiple elements that playfully underscore modernism’s prefigurement in the mannerism of the 15th-century: asymmetrical composition; the queerly small heads, stylized features, and elongated limbs of the two figures; and a flattened pictorial plane. Signed and dated by the artist in the lower right. Smartly presented in a thinly white-washed frame. less
