Winds | Henry Lyman Saÿen Postcard

Winds (1915-1916) is an original artwork by American artist Henry Lyman Saÿen (1875-1918). The painting is an abstract landscape featuring vibrant green grass and burgundy trees, captured in bold, expressive brushstrokes. The piece evokes a sense of movement and energy, as the title "Winds" suggests the breeze sweeping through the scene. Saÿen's use of deep, contrasting colours—such as the rich burgundy of the trees against the bright green of the grass—creates a dynamic visual rhythm. The abstract nature of the work allows for a subjective interpretation of the landscape, with a focus on the emotional experience of the environment rather than realistic depiction. This work is characteristic of Saÿen's modernist approach, where the subject matter is transformed through colour and form, emphasising mood and atmosphere over traditional representation.
