Overgrown Landscape

Jaap Mooy (signed by artist), 1955

This moonlit Overgrown Landscape by the sculptor Mooy looks like a vision of a barren world after ‘the bomb’. Fear of this was fuelled by the nuclear arms race during the Cold War and the memory of the devastating atom bombs dropped on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that brought an end to the Second World War.
