Spencer Gore, Icknield Way

icknieldway1912

The sky of this landscape by Spencer Gore reminds me of a low compression jpeg. Probably not what the artist had in mind when he painted it in 1912.

In any case I think it’s a uniquely beautiful and evocative effect. I also like the simplified shapes in his Beanfield painting (see art inconnu for this and more)

  • This is a lovely painting. I like it even more as I live on the Icknield Way :)
