Maurice de Vlaminck
France, 1876-1958
River Scene, c. 1910
Oil on canvas
21 x 25 in.
The Aaron M. and Clara Weitzenhoffer Collection, 2000 |
Vlaminck modified his Fauvist style [for
Fauvism, see Raoul Dufy's La Plage
de Ste-Adresse] when he encountered the work of Cezanne
at a landmark retrospective of 1907. Vlaminck greatly admired the
structure of Cezanne's paintings, whose influence is felt in the
present work. Vlaminck remained under the spell of Cézanne
from 1907 until around 1910.
As is common in Cezanne's landscapes,
Vlaminck bisected this canvas with a tree that serves to define
the space between the foreground and background.
