August 25 - December 23, 2016 - The AMAM collection is known for works by artists made early in their careers. A sense of geometry and balance is apparent in Brabant Farmyard, with its tight composition and simplified forms. That work’s pastoral subject, muted colors, and fluid brushwork reflect the naturalistic landscape painting prevalent at the time, while the planar quality of the roofs, and the strong horizontals and verticals that demarcate earth, buildings, and sky, lend it an air of modernity.
