White Landscape

Armando Reverón · 1940

This is White Landscape, painted by Armando Reverón in nineteen forty in glue tempera on canvas. Reverón lived on the Venezuelan coast and painted in blinding light until the colour bleached almost entirely out of his palette — these late canvases are worked in white on off-white.
