Title:
Forest Girl (from the Doorway Portfolio)
Date:
2008
Description:
Frontal view of a figure from the shoulders up painted red and orange with leaves above filling most of the composition painted red, orange and green against a blue background.
"Forest Girl", from the "Doorway" Portfolio by David C. Driskell, is a riot of blue, red, and black. The torso and head of a figure with long flowing hair rises from the bottom of the piece amid branches and large leaves of the surrounding foliage. In keeping with Driskell's love of nature, the figure's placement allows the leaves and branches to occupy the most space, speaking to both the prominence of nature and the position of people within the natural world.
