Description An account of the resource This abstracted landscape oil painting features seven tall trees, whose thin, tall trunks dominate the composition. The mottled colors and textures on the trunks imply a tree species such as poplars or birch. Golden light emerges from the space behind the trees, warming the otherwise cool palette of greens, blues, grays, and crème hues, all of light values. The brush and knife work on the surface is impasto and active, implying motion in the image. Title A name given to the resource Untitled (Landscape) Subject The topic of the resource This is an image of 7 birch trees Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Carlander, John Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Notes: Painting by John Carlander, dated 1965 This painting was purchased by my husband, D. Bruce Erickson, who graduated from Concordia College in 1965. He and John were friends at Concordia. Following his graduation, Bruce was a graduate student at Yale University, New Haven, CT, in the Department of Mathematics and eventually received his Ph.D. from that institution. The original frame on the painting was made from old barnwood. While he was away at graduate school, Bruce's parents reframed the painting with a French-Provincial-style frame, much to Bruce's dismay. Bruce and I met at Yale University in 1968 and were married in 1969. Both our children were born in New Haven, but we wished to relocate to the Midwest. Our opportunity came when Bruce was offered a one-year appointment teaching mathematics at Concordia for the 1973-74 academic year, to fill in for Dr. Gerald Heuer who would be on sabbatical. His appointment was extended for another year. Then he obtained a position at North Dakota State University to be part of a team to begin a computer science program there. Bruce worked at NDSU until his retirement for medical reasons in 2006. He was eventually diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy and died in 2009. The current frame on the painting was purchased sometime in the 1970s. Bruce and I looked for a barnwood frame but could not find one in the Fargo-Moorhead area. I know that Bruce would have loved to see the painting back in a barnwood frame. I am donating this painting to Concordia College and hope that they will make it part of their art collection. If the painting is not incorporated into the collection, I authorize the college to dispose of it by giving it to a Concordia faculty member, staff member or alumnus, or by selling or auctioning it to raise money for the college.
