Look at the work
Houses nestled behind their enclosed gardens
The central house has a white facade, blue shutters and a purple-blue roof painted in horizontal bands. To the left and behind it, darker thatched roofs descend in oblique touches. The chimneys cut out the strip of lilac gray sky.
A stone wall runs through the entire foreground. Above, hedges, vegetable gardens and red flowers create several plant bands. The trees at the bottom are constructed by green and purple curves which contrast with the geometry of the buildings.
The composition contrasts the stability of walls and facades with the continuous movement of roofs, trees and gardens.
Composition, touch and color
Three observations specific to this painting
The 1935.5 painting can be recognized by its white house with its blue roof, the long stone wall, the two fireplaces and the tiered gardens of Chaponval.
01
Brushstrokes for each roof
The Toledo Museum highlights the side features of the tiled roof and the descending features of the thatches. The material of the building becomes readable by the direction of the key alone.
02
A village in several plans
Wall, gardens, facades, roofs and trees form superimposed strips. Despite their density, the levels remain clear thanks to changes in color and orientation.
03
Reds as landmarks
A few poppies and red flowers punctuate the bottom of the painting. These little warm accents make the eye circulate in front of the large green and blue ensembles.
