DescriptionEdgar Payne was highly nomadic and spent long sojourns in the mountainous regions of California. "South Sierra Lake" is a composition built up out of broad brushstrokes and the contrast of geological masses as propounded in his book "Composition of Outdoor Painting." It shows an alpine lake surrounded by mountains, completed in the wilderness around Bishop, California.On View
