Focus on Four Seasons (murals) and discuss the Description.
Four Seasons is a series of four oil on canvas murals - Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter - painted in 1914 by Indiana artist T.C. Steele, which feature the landscape of Brown County, Indiana. Often regarded as the "pioneer of Indiana landscape paintings," Steele, in his signature "agreeable impressionistic style," used color, light, and brushwork to capture the experience of each season in southern Indiana. In 1917, Alfred M. Brooks, in his article "The Art and Work of Theodore Steele," featured in The American Magazine of Art, wrote that the Four Seasons murals feature "...lovely echoes of light and shade, made to play over, and to accentuate, rather than conceal, the highly representative character of the details which make up the purely pictorial nature of the subjects, these 'Seasons' are masterly and, decoratively masterful. They bespeak the inherent bigness and breadth of the scenes they represent so faithfully."
