Trees on the Banks of the Seine 1913 by Andre Derain — Fine Art

Trees on the Banks of the Seine 1913 carries the bold colour and thick paint marks of early twentieth century French work. A row of trees rises along the water, their trunks and leaves in warm brown and blue tones set against a wider sky and river.

This fine art print sits on matte paper that holds the soft blues and earthy greens without shine under a lamp. A light frame on a dark wall or a wood frame beside wooden furniture lets the painted marks sit plainly.

On a stair landing wall the broad tree line reads as one steady shape from below, while the small brush strokes show when you pass by. The blue ground stays flat and the trunks stay firm.
