,,მე განშორების ცივი თოვლი დიდხანს მეხურა.

ვტიროდი ხარბად - მარტოობით ნაალერსალი.

ვარ მოწყენილი, ვით ზამთარში ნაზი ბეღურა.

ვით შემოდგომის ღამეებში თეთრი ვერსალი."

The Mill Pond, George Inness, 1889, Art Institute of Chicago: American Art

A distinctive landscape painter of the 19th century, George Inness excelled at capturing the poetics and mood of his environs, finding spiritual resonances in nature, from its grand vistas to its quiet nooks. The Mill Pond depicts a sylvan setting, in which a small figure rows a boat in the pond at middle distance. Brilliant pigments of orange, green, and blue electrify an otherwise tranquil scene. Through color and atmosphere rather than line or detail, Inness communicated an intensity of vision, fueled by an individual encounter with nature. Edward B. Butler Collection Size: 95.9 × 75.6 cm (37 3/4 × 29 3/4 in.) Medium: Oil on canvas

The Mill Stream, Montclair, New Jersey, George Inness, c. 1888, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Paintings

Landscape. girl on left bank of stream, which flows down to foreground; two tall trees at right; factory chimney and houses behind a forest in the background When George Inness moved to Montclair, New Jersey in 1878, his new surroundings of brooks, meadows, farms and woods became the inspiration for the remainder of the artist's career. Another element in the midst of this natural beauty was the printing company owned by Samuel Crump, the tower and chimney of which appear in the background of The Mill Stream, Montclair, New Jersey. Today, this scene might be taken as a critique of industrialism, of factories encroaching on nature. At the time, however, the printing plant on the stream’s bank was viewed as a wonderful technological advancement, even a “civilizing” enhancement of the natural landscape. Inness’s loose brushwork gives the image a dreamlike quality. Size: 30 1/2 x 45 in. (77.47 x 114.3 cm) (canvas) Medium: Oil on canvas
