Landscape Near Cassis 1907 by Andre Derain — Fine Art

Landscape Near Cassis 1907 by Andre Derain sets a rocky coast with water in strong colour blocks. The painted strokes press hard against the paper and the dark shore meets a bright sea.

You get the fine art print with a hanger already on the back. The scene sits in the Fauvist period, when bold colour did the work of detail. A white frame gives the picture a clear edge on the wall.

The clean border keeps the bright blues from running into the room and lets the heavy dark shapes hold their ground. It fits on a landing wall where the stairs bring you past it each day. From the bottom step you catch the dark shore first, then the blue water above it.
