Sunset signed with initials in monogram 'ATBricher' (lower right) oil on canvas 18 x 38 in. (45.7 x 96.5 cm.) NOTES Alfred Thompson Bricher was a careful, exact observer of nature's patterns. One critic noted that "he was fascinated by the dialogue between patterns of clouds and shafts of light...He knew the coast intimately in all its moods." (J.R. Brown, Alfred Thompson Bricher, Indianapolis, Indiana, p. 12) In Sunset, Bricher has created a formal coastal scene of luminous realism for which the artist was best known, composed of shimmering layers of paint over an underlying geometric composition.
