Croton Point,, (1958)

Lubell 2/11: 78

Ink and wash drawing (with pastel and gouache) of a landscape of hills, lake and trees. Significantly larger version of Lubell 77’s pen and ink drawing. Seemingly identical in terms of composition, the primary difference is this version’s use of two tone color – yellows, grays, and browns are used to define and shade the landscape with a higher level of detail than many Lubell pieces (much harder to see is the red used to color a few of the roofs). Additionally, there is a much higher level of detail all around (although this may be due to the larger size): multiple and individual lines for trees, curves denoting water movement, and dramatic reduction of detail in the background to highlight perspective. Signed W. Lubell.
