About this work

Overview

Trees is a painting by American artist Otto H. Bacher, created in 1878. It is an oil painting held in The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection.

Subject & Meaning

The painting depicts a group of trees with bare branches, set against a light background suggesting a sunny day. The trees' thick, gnarled trunks and dense canopy are rendered in a way that captures their texture and depth.

Technique & Style

Bacher employed bold brushstrokes and vivid colors to convey the play of light and shadow on the trees, creating an effect of energy and movement. The style reflects the artist's engagement with realistic representation and the broader landscape tradition of late 19th-century American art.
