This downloadable fine art advanced cross-stitch design, May Moon (also referred to as Surprise) was painted by German-born American artist Oscar Bluemner in 1927 and sold at a Christie's auction for the realized price of $815,000. Bluemner's paintings were unlike anything created by his contemporaries because of his methodical approach and placement of color. He relied on his architectural background for his layered and multifaceted geometric shapes and his unusual use of color. In this painting he displays a beautiful cluster of houses around a magnificent cylindrical "moon." In the period up to 1928, Bluemner was fascinated with the rising or setting sun or moon and the atmosphere. Much of his prime work was done during this period.
