Man Who Chased a Ghost
1921
Frank Earle Schoonover's 1921 piece 'Man Who Chased a Ghost' feels like a still from a moody Western movie, featuring two riders on horseback pausing on a rugged dirt path. Under a brooding, teal-colored sky, the men seem to be in deep conversation or perhaps keeping watch, while a warm, lonely lantern glows from a small cottage down the hill. Schoonover uses loose, expressive brushstrokes to blend realism with a dreamy, atmospheric quality that makes you wonder what secret story these cowboys are part of.
