Original Description
"Dusk settles over Sunset Beyond A Pool by Tilden Dakin (1960), where ribbons of molten gold and lavender dissolve into the water’s mirrored surface. This mid-century modernist gem encapsulates California’s plein-air tradition through its loose brushwork and luminous color field bathing the pool’s geometric edges. Dakin, a lesser-known but pivotal figure in West Coast Abstract Expressionism, bridges Helen Frankenthaler’s stain techniques with David Hockney’s poolscapes—his layered glazes create atmospheric depth rare in acrylic works. The 48×36" composition nods to Rothko’s emotive horizons while maintaining figurative anchors: a deck chair’s crisp silhouette grounding the ephemeral light show. Now part of the Pasadena Art Museum’s permanent collection, its chromatic vibrations influenced later Light and Space artists like Mary Corse."
"For interiors, this painting commands attention in minimalist spaces with its sunset drama—hang it horizontally above a low-profile walnut credenza to echo its warm undertones. The 4:3 aspect ratio suits rooms with 9-ft ceilings; flank it with sculptural sconces (try Apparatus Studio’s fused-glass designs) to enhance its radiant glow. In offices, pair with Eames-era molded plywood chairs and terrazzo surfaces for mid-century cohesion, or create bold contrast in contemporary settings via charcoal upholstery and matte black frames. Position opposite floor-to-ceiling windows to exploit color mutations during golden hour. For smaller spaces, opt for a giclée reproduction at 24×18" with a floater frame to preserve the ethereal edge effect—this scale complements Karl Springer lacquered consoles or a BDDW waxed-oak desk."
