eMuseum Notes
In this murky, atmospheric image, it may be difficult at first to determine the subject. It appears to be a picture of a bridge in a wooded area but the details are unfocused and the location is unspecific. The artist gives us the key to understanding it with his title, A Dream Half Remembered, which tells us we are looking into an imagined landscape of dreams and memory, bathed in golden light. Where does the bridge lead? Only you know the answer.
