"In Van Lent’s 'Land in the Sky,' land and water hold equal value because atmospheric perspective is equalized and conventional perspective is minimalized. This approach has much in common with Cezanne but the sensibility of this work recalls early American Modernists such as Arthur Dove, Milton Avery and especially Georgia O’Keefe. Although such references exist, Van Lent’s touch is exemplified by her magnificent use of color and application of surface. This represents the real heart and soul of the work."
