- Description:
- This energetic depiction of Ithaca's inlet with the lake water high, houses sagging to and fro, and wind whipping the poplars and willows about, is a unique piece for AMK. This piece is the most explicitly influenced by cubism, marked by a rich palette anchored by a sea of greens and accented by warm reds, pinks, and yellows.
