Demuth visited Bermuda in 1916–17, and while there he painted a breakthrough series of landscapes inspired by cubism and the works of Cézanne. In Rooftop through Trees , two tree boughs form an almond-shaped frame for a vista of blocky buildings. The buildings' rigid forms are offset by the trees' gentle curves—the smaller branches are rendered so lightly as to appear ghostly.
