About this work

This painting shows a quiet beach scene from 1933. Waves roll onto the shore. A small boat sits tilted on the sand. A white house with a red roof stands behind the dunes. The colors are soft and faded. You can almost feel the salty air. The brush strokes are loose, almost sketchy. The artist uses impasto here—thick paint that stands up off the canvas. Check out how the texture makes the waves look bumpy. See for yourself at the Museum of Ethnography.
