Boat Building by Robert "Harry" Fort

Painting

Robert Fort was a boat builder by trade. This impressionistic view of his craft uses different coloring than is usually associated with him. In the foreground we see sawhorses and strewn lumber . A partially completed boat fills the middle ground of the work. Trees to the right black out the background. Faded colors and the use of purple at the horizon line enhanced the illusion of depth.
