Ulery the modern artist
Ulery’s early exposure to modern art in California deeply affected him. That effect was first seen in California, and later emerged more fully in Indiana.

Landscape with Bird (1950)
Watercolor and ink on paper, 12x16
$750
Landscape with Bird is more futuristic than Daliesque, and as in many of Ulery’s works, the Eye of God and Birds are prominent symbols. Here, the diminished Eye of God does not look down from above but has settled on the horizon. There is no bird in flight even though birds have been personified as being “above man”. The teetering Cross, the waving flag, the white cloud, the changing sky, are all dominant images open to interpretation.
