Gray rocks rise under a cloudy sky. A few pine trees lean into the wind. Heather glows purple at their feet. This is one of sixteen lithographs from Rivière’s *Aspects of Nature*. He made them while living in Brittany, where the sea sounds like a constant hum. He called the spot “the end of the world.” Look up Henri Rivière (French, 1864–1951).
