Artwork Description

Gillespie painted Green Landscape shortly after his return to the United States from Italy in 1970, where he had begun crafting small, visionary landscapes that blended elements of Flemish realism and surrealism with collaged views of the contemporary world. The cabbages, pecking chickens, and fall color in his landscape are true to nature, but the image seems invented and out of time.
