About the Item

This original 1980s mixed media painting by celebrated Colorado artist Mary Chenoweth is a richly expressive abstract interpretation of a tree landscape. The composition transforms a natural subject into a dynamic modernist scene, where stylized tree forms emerge through layered color, texture, and gestural abstraction. Executed in mixed media on paper or board, the work combines acrylic paint with collage elements and expressive brushwork. Earthy tones are energized by contrasting accents of color, creating a rhythmic, almost lyrical composition. The trees are simplified into organic, semi-abstract shapes, allowing structure and spontaneity to coexist within the same visual field. Mary Chenoweth (1918–1999) was an influential American modernist painter and educator based in Colorado Springs. Known for her experimental approach to materials and her bold use of color, she worked across painting, printmaking, and collage. Her nature-based abstractions from the 1980s are especially recognized for their balance of emotional expression and formal design, reflecting her deep engagement with the natural landscape of the American West. This 1980s tree landscape exemplifies Chenoweth’s mature style - vibrant, textural, and highly composed - bridging abstraction and nature in a way that feels both contemporary and timeless. It is a strong collectible example of late 20th-century American modernism, well suited for collectors of abstract landscape works and Colorado regional art.
