{"product_id":"summer-day-richard-sussman","title":"Summer Day - Richard Sussman","description":"\u003cp\u003eA tranquil watercolour scene by Richard Sussman, depicting a dog resting beneath a tree in a quiet, rural setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSummer Day by Richard Sussman captures a quiet, domestic scene through a lens of mid-twentieth-century American modernism. The composition centres on a large, gnarled tree, beneath which a dog rests in the shade. This central figure provides a sense of stillness, contrasting with the surrounding structures. The architecture, featuring pitched roofs and timber-framed elements, suggests a rural or semi-rural setting, perhaps reflecting the artist's interest in the vernacular buildings of his time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSussman employs a fluid, expressive application of watercolour. The pigment is layered to create depth, particularly in the foliage of the tree and the shadows cast upon the ground. The palette consists of earthy tones, including ochre, deep greens, and muted browns, punctuated by the cooler blue of a vehicle parked to the right. This inclusion of a car adds a specific temporal marker to the scene, grounding the work in the early to mid-twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brushwork is loose and gestural, prioritising the atmospheric quality of the day over precise architectural rendering. The light appears soft, consistent with a warm afternoon, and the overall mood is one of calm observation. Sussman avoids rigid perspective, opting instead for a slightly flattened, decorative arrangement of shapes that emphasises the two-dimensional surface of the paper. This approach allows the viewer to focus on the interplay of colour and form rather than a strictly realistic depiction of the environment. The work functions as a study of a fleeting moment, capturing the intersection of nature, domestic life, and the encroaching presence of modern machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/de\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Richard Sussman","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58747373715791,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58747594309967,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58747594342735,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58747594375503,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58747594408271,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58747594441039,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58747594473807,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58747594506575,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58747594539343,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58747594572111,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58747594604879,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58747594637647,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Summer-Day_Poster_CompositorV1_1789116678743.jpg?v=1789117194","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/de\/products\/summer-day-richard-sussman","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
