An early California modernist, Henrietta Shore created accomplished works of art in a career that spanned the first half of the twentieth century. During a sojourn in New York in the early 1920s, she developed a series of what she termed “semi-abstractions,” to which her remarkable painting, Two Worlds, belongs. Described in a 1923 art review as “an abstraction with an astronomical basis,” this piece clearly refers to the cosmos. Its luminous orbs, seemingly moons, command a celestial field, defined by concentric rings of ethereal blue that issue from a light nuclear core and become progressively deeper in tone and expansive in reach as they approach the picture’s frame.
