Original Description
In William Sommer’s Two Green Horses, the viewer is immediately struck by the dreamlike, lyrical quality of this early modernist gem. Painted around 1917 during Sommer’s involvement with the Cleveland avant-garde group, the work embodies his playful yet sophisticated synthesis of Fauvist color and Cubist form. Two gracefully elongated horses, rendered in vivid emerald and mossy hues, stand amidst a fragmented landscape of warm ochres and soft blues, their simplified, rhythmic contours evoking both movement and serenity. Sommer’s background as a commercial lithographer shines through in the deliberate flatness and decorative patterning, yet the emotional resonance—whimsical yet profound—places it squarely within American modernist experimentation. Historically significant, the painting bridges European avant-garde influences with distinctly regional creativity, reflecting the Ohio art scene’s vibrant contributions to early 20th-century art. Today, it remains a celebrated example of Sommer’s ability to harmonize bold abstraction with poetic sensibility.
For interior decorators, Two Green Horses offers a versatile statement piece that energizes both contemporary and traditional spaces. Its verdant palette pairs beautifully with neutral backdrops—think cream walls or warm wood accents—allowing the horses’ vibrant forms to take center stage. In a minimalist office, a mid-sized giclée print (e.g., 24" x 36") above a sleek console table would inject creativity without overwhelming the room. For a bohemian living area, layer it alongside textured textiles in mustard or terracotta to amplify its earthy undertones. The painting’s rhythmic lines also complement Art Deco or Mid-Century Modern furniture, while its whimsy softens corporate environments. Opt for a thin, natural wood frame to honor its rustic charm or a sleek black floater frame for a gallery-inspired touch. Ultimately, this piece thrives wherever warmth, movement, and a touch of the unexpected are desired.
