Ogden Pleissner

U.S. 1905-1983
Florida Landscape 46.0846

During World War II, Ogden Pleissner was a combat artist in the Aleutian Islands and a war correspondent in France and England for Life Magazine. After the war, his landscapes became more somber--due, Pleissner said, to his stay in the Aleutians, which he called gloomy, fogbound, and depressing. This undated Florida landscape certainly reflects the somberness and sunless quality present in most of his post-war paintings and may have been painted immediately after the war as it was accessioned in 1946.
