"Afternoon Sky, Harney Desert" is an oil painting by the prominent American Impressionist artist Childe Hassam (1859–1935). Created in 1908, this artwork exemplifies Hassam's fascination with the interplay of light and landscape, a hallmark of his extensive body of work. The painting depicts a scene from the Harney Desert, located in Oregon, capturing the vastness of the American West and the unique atmospheric conditions of the desert environment.

In "Afternoon Sky, Harney Desert," Hassam employs his signature loose brushwork and a vibrant palette to convey the luminous quality of the desert sky. The composition is characterized by a broad expanse of sky dominating the canvas, with the horizon placed low to emphasize the overarching canopy of light and color. The painting's title suggests a particular interest in the time of day when the sun begins to descend, casting dynamic shadows and enriching the colors of the landscape.

Hassam was part of the American Impressionist movement, which sought to capture the fleeting effects of light and color, often en plein air or outdoors. His work often reflected his travels and his keen observation of different environments, from urban streetscapes to rural vistas. "Afternoon Sky, Harney Desert" is a testament to Hassam's ability to adapt the Impressionist style to the varied American landscapes, moving beyond the more commonly depicted scenes of the East Coast to the less familiar terrain of the West.

The painting is part of Hassam's oeuvre that contributed to the recognition of American Impressionism as a significant force in the art world of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today, "Afternoon Sky, Harney Desert" is appreciated for its historical significance and its aesthetic contribution to the narrative of American art. It is held in the collection of the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon, where it continues to be studied and admired by art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
