Cool heat washes over the landscape in Bert Phillips’s Riders in the Valley. Lavenders, light greens, and light blues dominate the composition, while Phillips, characteristically, dresses his chief in a flowing red robe. The story here is difficult to discern, but the power of the painting lies in Phillips’s dexterity with a deliberately limited palette and the movement of the paint in the disparate parts of the work.
