Label TextRon Snapp American, born 1943 Western Landscape with Three Rolling Stones Racing Across the Desert (with Shadows), 1978 Acrylic, metal This deconstructed landscape of various painted metal elements portrays a desert scene. Mountains and a rainbow stand in the background. The outline of a saguaro cactus is joined by three rolling tumbleweeds. Snapp, who taught art for three decades at Old Dominion University, shows a playful approach in this work, which is representative of his wider practice of painting and assemblage, joining these aspects in a sculptural tableau.
