Landscape at Beaulieu 1918 — Fine Art

Landscape at Beaulieu 1918 by Juan Gris uses broad washes of colour and careful outlines to build a quiet scene. The artist worked in a synthetic cubism style, breaking a view of trees and ground into clear planes. You see the open line work and the solid painted fields that hold the picture together.

This fine art print sits on a matte sheet, so the painted tones stay soft rather than bright. A light frame on a pale wall keeps the colours close to the picture, while a dark frame on a darker wall gives more contrast to the washes.

It fits a bedroom wall above the bed where morning light falls across the lower part of the sheet. From the doorway you notice the green and blue planes first, then the drawn outlines as you move nearer.
