Artist

Alma Thomas, born Columbus, GA 1891-died Washington, DC 1978

Exhibition Label

Like many of Thomas’s paintings, Fall Begins suggests an experience of sensory immersion—it conveys not only the brilliant color of fall foliage, but also the movement and sound of branches and leaves dancing in the wind.
