New Haven Railroad / The Berkshires.

ARTIST: BEN NASON (1915- ) SIZE: 28 x 41 7/8 in./71 x 106.4 cm DESCRIPTION: The Berkshires, in western Massachusetts, are always spoken of with a sigh—the kind of dreamy sigh of relaxation that comes from propping oneself on a lawn chair in the fresh winds, watching the dappled leaves flutter before a New England church steeple and a cold, clear lake. Nason quite cleverly makes us desire this landscape all the more by obscuring it with a magnificent tree that occupies the center of the frame. (Modern; Travel; Railway; American)
