Poplars 1900 by Andre Derain — Fine Art

Poplars 1900 by Andre Derain shows a row of tall trees standing against a wide sky. The trunks rise from the lower edge and the leaves sit in rounded shapes above them. The picture reads as a group of strong vertical lines with a patch of open ground below.

The print arrives ready to hang, with a metal hanger fitted to the back that goes straight onto a nail or screw. No separate frame to buy. On the fine art paper, the dark tree lines stay firm and the lighter sky does not shine under a lamp.

In a kitchen with pale cabinetry, the tall shapes sit along the wall beside the stove. From the doorway you notice the rhythm of the trunks, and at the table you see the small marks in the leaves.
