Louis Valtat

Les Fraises

1902

A vibrant still life by French Post-Impressionist Louis Valtat, *Les Fraises* presents a lush arrangement of strawberries rendered in bold, expressive brushwork. Valtat's characteristic use of rich, saturated color brings the fruit to life with an almost electric intensity, set against a dynamic, loosely painted background. The work exemplifies his mastery of color and texture, reflecting the influence of the Fauvist movement that defined much of his career.
