Albert Pinkham Ryder was a Symbolist painter. His paintings are continuing to evolve even after he is dead because he would continue to had more paint, more layers before the previous layer had dried. In the end, the paint comes off of the canvas in some parts at least an inch. They have physical dimension. The way he applied the paint is an attribute to the finished whole, flowing, gestural, dynamic. By placing strong darks next to vibrant whites the viewer in engaged in the theatrical drama.
