Such different pictures, but each so Texas. This one is a modernist version of a ghost town.<BR><BR>Judd leaves out certain details and emphasizes others. The background and sky are purely decorative with a flattened perspective. The foreground is also decorative and fractured into planes. The regionalist flavor is still present, but a more modern post-regionalist approach is an equal partner in the composition.<BR><BR>Exhibited:<BR>Dallas Museum of Fine Arts; 1955 Art Rental Collection<BR><BR> <B>Condition Report:</B> Excellent condition. Period frame in excellent condition.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Requires 3rd Party Shipping (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
