In the early 1890s, Edgar Degas experimented briefly with monotype landscapes, working from memory rather than on-the-spot observation to produce moody, atmospheric scenes quite different from his usual urban and theatrical subjects. "Landscape with Smokestacks" reflects this short but intense period of experimentation, in which industrial forms emerge from smudged, painterly fields of color applied directly to a printing plate. These landscape monotypes are now recognized as an important, if lesser-known, chapter in Degas's restless technical innovation.

My husband spotted this months ago and I finally gave in. The smallest marks in Landscape with Smokestacks are still visible, which is the entire point. It has been worth every minute of the wait.
My whole family has opinions about the house and everyone agreed on this one. The colors in Landscape with Smokestacks are richer than any version I found online. It has been through a Gulf Coast August with the AC running nonstop and looks exactly the same. Perfect from start to finish.
The subject alone sold me and the execution sealed it. The brushwork in Landscape with Smokestacks shows exactly why Degas has the reputation. It is the best forty dollars I have spent on this house. The value here is so good that I keep expecting to find the catch.
Customer service was polite and slow, which cancels out. It is a fair version of Landscape with Smokestacks at a fair price. The colors in the darker areas run together slightly. It sat on the porch through a August downpour because the driver would not ring the bell.
Sorry the price felt high for what arrived. Email us and we can look at a partial refund, and I would like to hear what would have made this a five.
I was expecting good and got great. The brushwork in Landscape with Smokestacks shows exactly why Degas has the reputation.
