1878
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Spring Street is a 1878 by Otto Henry Bacher, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet street with two small buildings—one with a chimney puffing smoke, the other a simple shed. A bare tree stands in the foreground, its branches tangled and sharp. The ground is covered in loose lines, like quick, uneven strokes. Notice how the artist used lots of scribbly marks instead of smooth shapes. It feels like they were drawing fast, almost like a quick note of what they saw. If you like this style, look up Realism next.
