The Mississippi at Minneapolis, 1948-1950, Martin Bloch.

Martin Bloch, 1883-1854, was a German-British painter of the Expressionist period. In 1948, he came to America, teaching at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and at Princeton. He likened the climate of the American Midwest to that of the Mediterranean (he must have been there during the summer). I love this German Expressionist interpretation of my home town. It is currently on view at the Tate Gallery in London.
