Although an image of a scrap metal yard filled with the hulks of old ships and timber, "Graveyard" has the powerful graphic rhythms of Abstract Expressionism.��Realistic texture and abstract shape come together in the stark geometry and the fussily detailed scrap metal sheets (complete with rivets) and piles of stacked timber.��This image reflects the artist's belief that the languages of realism and of abstraction are utterly compatible. The image also reflects Hall's recurrent celebration of Oregon industries ��� fishing, shipbuilding, and timber.
