Maurice de Vlaminck

Village et bord de rivière

1911

A bold and turbulent landscape rendered in thick, expressive brushstrokes, this work captures a riverside village with the raw, energetic intensity characteristic of Vlaminck's Fauvist style. Deep, swirling greens and blues dominate the composition, conveying a sense of brooding atmospheric tension as the river reflects the surrounding foliage and structures. Painted at a pivotal moment in Vlaminck's career, the work bridges his vibrant Fauvist period with a growing influence of Cézanne's more structured approach to form and color.
