202-tintagel-dixon- fanciful visualization of the legendary birthplace of King Arthur. This stylized fantasy illustration features a fortified stone castle perched precariously on a rugged, dark cliff overlooking a calm sea. In the sky, an enormous, textured gold moon dominates the center of the composition, hanging low against a striking, uniform red gradient twilight. On a distant headland across the water, two tiny silhouettes of mounted figures on horseback add a sense of Arthurian mythos and scale to the dramatic, starkly lit coastal landscape. Gouache on paper, 1974.
