Description:
Ivon Sidney Hitchens (1893-1979)
Green Walks, Summer: No 2
Oil on canvas
450mm x 1070mm
Hitchens attempts to capture the experience of the landscape rather than its appearance. He often worked in his garden in Sussex, using a long horizontal format to create a panoramic vista and laying on the paint with broad brushstrokes on a bare white ground. Through vibrant colours and expressive marks, Hitchens seeks to create a sense of movement, replicating the natural rhythms and sounds of rustling trees, rippling water and flickering light of a specific place.
