André Derain French, 1880-1954
18 1/8 x 21 1/4 inches
One finds in this landscape the subject of buildings in back of a screen of vibrant trees creating a differed view – a presentation of the image of which Vlaminck was fond and which composition he painted also in 1909 with ‘Les peupliers’ or ‘la Crue de la Seine’.
Here the church of Carrières-sur-Seine escapes the quaint and conventional appearances due to the rigour of the palette and the geometric rendering of the steeple and the surrounding houses as well as the slanting effects which forms the enclosure, the path and the lawn.
