Gouache | Henry Lyman Saÿen Postcard

Gouache (c. 1916) by Henry Lyman Saÿen is a striking piece of American modernist art featuring a child sitting in a rocking chair. The artwork is characterized by vibrant blue and orange colours that create a dynamic and energetic atmosphere. Saÿen’s use of these bold hues, combined with his expressive, abstract brushstrokes, adds depth and movement to the serene yet lively scene. The child’s relaxed posture contrasts with the energetic colour palette, creating a unique visual tension that is typical of Saÿen’s modernist style.
