Woodfield is a signed and numbered limited-edition tondo serigraph by American artist James Hagen, depicting a moonlit woodland reflected in still water. Created in the 1980s, this circular-format print exemplifies Hagen’s minimalist landscape style, combining layered silhouettes, autumnal tones, and quiet atmospheric depth.
Woodfield presents a contemplative forest scene contained within a circular, or tondo, format that immediately sets it apart from conventional rectangular landscapes. Bare trees rise along a riverbank, their intricate branches mirrored below in calm water. A pale moon floats above distant hills, anchoring the composition and reinforcing the sense of twilight stillness.
Hagen’s palette is warm and restrained—rust, umber, soft ochre, muted gray, and pale cream—suggesting late autumn light and seasonal transition. The composition relies on repetition and symmetry, with vertical trunks echoed in reflection, creating visual rhythm and balance. The circular format intensifies the intimacy of the scene, encouraging the viewer to experience the landscape as a self-contained world.
Executed as a serigraph (silkscreen print), Woodfield displays crisp edges, flat color fields, and carefully layered stencil passes. The clarity of silhouette and controlled tonal shifts are hallmarks of Hagen’s graphic approach to landscape imagery. Signed in pencil and numbered 1/375, this impression represents an early pull from the edition and reflects Hagen’s mature 1980s production aimed at collectors of modern decorative prints.
James Hagen is an American artist active primarily in the late 20th century, best known for his limited-edition serigraphs depicting stylized landscapes and forest scenes. His work is characterized by simplified natural forms, layered silhouettes, and restrained color palettes that emphasize atmosphere, structure, and emotional quiet.
Hagen frequently explored themes of dusk, reflection, and seasonal change. Trees, water, hills, and moonlit skies recur throughout his work, rendered with architectural clarity and rhythmic repetition. By reducing nature to essential shapes, Hagen created images that feel both modern and timeless.
Working predominantly in serigraphy, Hagen embraced the medium’s ability to produce clean edges and consistent color fields. His prints were issued as signed and numbered editions, often in larger runs intended for broad collector appeal and interior display. While extensive academic documentation is limited, Hagen’s consistent market presence and distinctive visual language secure his place within late-20th-century American decorative modernism.
