Arizona Night is a 1930 ink by George Elbert Burr, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a desert landscape at night. In the foreground, there are small shrubs and cacti. In the background, there are mountains. The sky is dark, with a full moon shining brightly. The painting is done in a greenish tone, which gives it a unique and eerie feel. The artist has used drypoint and aquatint techniques to create a sense of depth and texture.
