Description
Whereas other paintings may have smoothed out some of the elements in this classic northeastern fall landscape, Jacoby creates a network of lines. We see them as stone walls in the fields below, tree trunks and branches (and their many shadows), and two telephone poles. The grid is not strictly Cartesian, but many locations in the landscape can be mapped out in this manner; the exceptions are a range of mountains, a barn, and several orange-leafed trees.
