Framed Desert Artwork
Deserts are usually considered by some to be places of isolation and seclusion. There is something inexplicably melancholic about being in an arid place with nothing to see. Many of the artists of framed desert art pieces attempt to evoke this same feeling of melancholy in their artwork.
In the framed desert painting Sonoran Sunset, Gretchen Huber Warren depicts the scenery of a desert teeming with plant life but still seemingly feeling very empty. Georgia O’Keeffe portrays the emptiness of deserts in her piece Red Hills, Grey Sky. The title is descriptive enough of what is found in the artwork itself. Though the piece can be dismissed by some as simple, the red hills and the grey sky of the artwork bring about a feeling of void and desolation.
Some artists take the concept of framed desert art a little more creatively than others. In the photo close up of hourglass on sand, the photographer captures an hourglass on top of a bank of sand. Some art enthusiasts might consider the placing of the hourglass on top of the sand bank as a well-thought-of metaphor for the apparently different flow of time in the desert. Another creative take on the theme is Salvador Dali’s Mirage, c. 1946. In the piece, Dali represents a woman that seems to be pulling several objects out of nothing. Enthusiasts are sure to appreciate the amount of symbolism that can be interpreted with the piece.
Some pieces like William G. Hartshorn’s White Sands focus on the motif of seclusion. The depiction of a bare desert at dusk arouses a certain kind of sadness. With the wide desert with white sand and the full moon in view, the piece is both very beautiful and haunting.
