Living and working in Amsterdam, native New Yorker Michael Ryan would probably feel quite comfortable in France around 1900.

With its freely brushed colour and open composition, Weeping Birch recalls French Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and Fauvism – with the emphasis on the latter, given its strong colours and simplified, more abstract look.
