BEN SHAHN
Three early landscapes.

Coastal Landscape with Sailboat<> * Hilly Landscape<> * Coastal Landscape with Large Rocks<>. Each oil on board, each late 1920s. Each 305x406 mm; 12x16 inches. Each ex-collection the artist, with the ink stamp verso. Various sizes and conditions.

According to Prescott, Shahn referred to these landscape paintings as having been created in "a Post-Impressionistic vein," reflecting his academic training and the influence of the works he had seen abroad in the 1920s (see Prescott p. xvii).
