“Autumn in the Catskills” is one of Robert Wood’s best-known woodland scenes. It is a colorful depiction of autumn in the Catskill Mountains, where Wood had a cabin in the 1950s. The contrast between the green grass on the left side of the painting and the brightly colored trees on the right makes this an essentially dramatic composition. This work was painted in the late 1950s, when Wood was at the peak of his powers and fame.

This painting is one of Robert Wood’s finest and most dramatic works. It depicts Washington’s famous Mt. St. Helens, which erupted on May 18, 1980, losing its peak, in one of the most important geologic events in modern American history. Painted in the 1930s, it shows the famous Cascade peak late in the afternoon when the golden light is at its most dramatic. The mountain, which has a bluish cast, is framed by trees, with a waterfall in the center foreground.
