Crimson and Green Leaves
Helen Torr American
Not on view
In the late 1920s, Torr and her partner, artist Arthur Dove, lived on a houseboat moored at Halesite on Long Island. While residing close to the natural world, Torr’s artistic concerns turned to depicting processes of environmental growth and transformation. Like Dove, she looked to the local landscape for her subjects. In Crimson and Green Leaves, Torr abstracted and distilled the shapes and autumnal colors of the local foliage to create an intimate view of changing seasons.
