Description
-
Sifuentes' painting shows a landscape filled with grass and a barren tree, with a bird perched atop. The tree bears human characteristics, perhaps symbolizing the interconnectedness of all living beings. This piece is painted in a geometric style that appears frequently in the work of students of Dr. John T. Biggers during the mid to late 1970s. Sifuentes later went on to become an art professor at Texas Southern.
