About this artwork

Arthur Wesley Dow made this work in 1912. Its title points to a landscape of marshes beneath a large sky, and the sky seems to be the main subject. The work is a woodcut, a form of printmaking in which an image is cut into a block and printed. Dow was an American painter, printmaker, photographer and arts educator, and printmaking was one part of his varied practice. A print of this kind suits slow, close looking.

On your wall: Its open, airy subject suits calm spaces such as a bedroom, a study or a quiet hallway, where a wide landscape can give the eye room to rest.
