Ms. Gornik takes akindof postmodern approach to landscape, with color in a minor key that gives the painting a coolly detached mood, as if she were deliberately playing against the emotional intensity that has been such a signature element of this genre, particularly in 19th-century America.
Inside there is color, lines moving in every direction and in every way matched with splotches of more color, kindof like a fun house without the distorted mirrors.
