1926 (ca.), Hale Woodruff, Twilight -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) (special exhibition)

From the exhibition label: Through a nuanced interplay of color and form, Woodruff's landscape masterfully captures the essence of transition. The dichotomy of twilight, neither fully dark nor light, is explored throughout the composition; it features colors ranging from the vibrant hues of sunset to the subdued tones of nightfall and a small grove of trees in states of both growth and decay. Though Woodruff painted this work in Indianapolis, the expressiveness, color palette, and spontaneity of the brushstrokes align it with European Post-Impressionist art.
