Modernist Black & White Forest Landscape Oil Painting by Morris Katz

Striking modernist oil painting rendered in a bold monochrome palette depicting a wooded forest landscape with expressive, gestural brushwork and strong textural impasto. The composition features tall trees and a small figure traversing a fallen log or woodland path, creating a dynamic sense of movement and scale. Executed in black, white, and gray tones, the work has a dramatic, almost abstract quality while retaining a recognizable natural setting.  Housed in a black and gilt frame, the piece presents well and offers strong decorative appeal for contemporary or modern interiors. Condition appears good with typical minor surface wear consistent with age. Approx. frame size (in): 25 x 21 x 1.5, Approx. painting size (in): 23.5 x 19.5.
