Two Dumps in the Meadowlands, April, Low Tide, A Grass Fire

Artist: Rackstraw Downes
Artwork: Two Dumps in the Meadowlands, April, Low Tide, A Grass Fire
Description: This painting is a panoramic view of the Hackensack River and the Meadowlands in New Jersey. The foreground is a tidal flat with two garbage dumps, and the background is dominated by the towering smokestacks of an industrial complex. The painting is a study in contrasts: between the natural and the man-made, the beautiful and the ugly, the serene and the chaotic.
