“Saint Philips, Charleston”

“Saint Philips, Charleston” by Childe Hassam (1925)

The medium of this work is a drawing and therefore has monochromatic color

The road and the line of trees leads your eye into the painting creating depth

There is atmospheric perspective as the building in the forefront of the picture is larger and more detailed than the buildings in the background further down the road

Hassam’s drawing demonstrates both positive and negative shapes
