Subject

Landscape with rocks and trees

Description

The shapes composing this landscape, by Ismail al Shaikhly, are rendered in a reductive manner. Trees are hinted at by way of jagged vertical lines while the rock formations in the middle ground use blocks of color to simulate three dimensions. Segements of color are also used to insinuate a stream flowing in the foreground and a mountain range in the background.
