Dorothy Lake Gregory — Double-sided work
Dorothy Lake Gregory

Double-sided work

This oil painting depicts a coastal landscape characterized by horizontal bands of color representing sky, land, and water. The composition features earthy browns and tans in the upper portion, suggesting rolling hills or dunes, contrasted with strips of pale cream and soft blue tones below. The weathered surface and muted palette reflect the aesthetic concerns of mid-twentieth-century American regionalist painting, particularly the Cape Cod and Provincetown art communities. The work exemplifies a modernist approach to landscape, prioritizing formal color relationships and compositional structure over representational detail.
