Paris under Snow at Canada's National Gallery
I loved this painting of Notre Dame on a dull, snowy day by Fauvist Albert Marquet. His brushwork is so accomplished!

Marquet has captured the gloomy atmosphere of a dull winter day with sombre colours painted in muted tones. Note how the human beings and horses are represented by simple and gestural brushstrokes to convey form and movement.

Funny I hate winter but love paintings/prints of them.
ReplyDeleteI have a favourite print in the laundry room that I bought years ago in Montreal.

I think I love it because of the way the sun is shining.

Marquet's piece is interesting because it looks very different at a distance than it does close up. It's very evocative.
ReplyDeleteLove your print.
