We have one object involving Denver Art Museum

A standing, three-paneled painted, wood-framed folding screen in redwood and black lacquer, depicting the craggy triangles and shadows of the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Somewhat shallow in perspective, the top of the piece shows the flat buttes of the opposite side of the canyon. A turquoise blue, horizontal band represents a thin image of the sky. The depiction of the landscape evokes the sensation of a bright, sunny day; scenery is abstract with modernist influences.
