1890
unspecified
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Indian Camp is a 1890 unspecified by Ralph Albert Blakelock, a American Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a dark forest at the bottom with thick, shadowy trees. Above them, a stormy sky swirls with gray and white brushstrokes—some areas look almost wet, like the paint was applied quickly. The colors are mostly muted, but the clouds stand out with streaks of blue and white. The brushwork is loose and rough, almost like the artist painted it outside in a hurry. This style was a big change from the smooth, detailed landscapes people were used to seeing. If you like this look, check out Impasto—it’s when paint is laid on thick so you can almost see the strokes.
Ralph Albert Blakelock was a romanticist American painter known primarily for his landscape paintings related to the Tonalism movement.
