Armin C. Hansen, American, (1886–1957)

Painting

Oil on canvas

39 x 49.5 in. (99.06 x 125.73 cm)

Accession Number: 1992.080

Here is yet another large seascape in which Hansen conveys the powerful challenge of the sea and the tenacity of the men who confront it. The whitecaps, the sharp angles of the sails, the darkened sky all create a sense of drama for the fishermen, so small against its force.
