Double-sided sketch
1945
This ink sketch by Blanche Lazzell depicts a sparse winter landscape dominated by a bare, gnarled tree rendered in loose, gestural lines. Simple geometric forms suggest rural buildings nestled among the branches, their rectangular windows and angular roofs sketched with minimal detail. The composition captures the bleakness of a New England winter scene with economical means, favoring linear expression over descriptive detail. This drawing exemplifies the modernist sensibility of early twentieth-century American regionalism, particularly the simplified forms and intimate scale favored by Provincetown artists working between the world wars.
