André Lhote — L'église De Mirmande
André Lhote

L'église De Mirmande

1959

A masterful example of André Lhote's signature Cubist-influenced style, this oil on canvas depicts the historic church of Mirmande with geometric precision and structured form. Lhote's characteristic approach breaks the architectural subject into angular planes and faceted surfaces, harmonizing the ancient stone church with its surrounding landscape through a carefully orchestrated palette. The composition reflects his lifelong dedication to reconciling classical order with the modernist vocabulary of Cubism.
