Forsythe simplifies the landscape into broad planes of color, while the towering clouds echo the mountain’s rounded forms. Small patches of vegetation in the foreground establish the immense scale and solitude of California’s Mojave Desert.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRed Mountain was part of the Rand Mining District, where a major silver discovery in 1919 brought rapid growth followed by decline. Yet Forsythe omits the town and its industrial activity, presenting the land as timeless and undisturbed. Best known earlier in his career as an illustrator and comic-strip artist, Forsythe turned his full attention to easel painting in the late 1930s. This work reflects his enduring fascination with the desert’s changing light, expansive atmosphere, and sculptural terrain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anthony's Fine Art \u0026 Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48021322236140,"sku":null,"price":15500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2013\/1449\/files\/806958952.036504.jpg?v=1785267688","url":"https:\/\/anthonysfineart.com\/products\/red-mountain-california-by-clyde-forsythe","provider":"Anthonys Fine Art \u0026 Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
