Landscape of Céret
1913
Painted in 1913, this vibrant landscape captures the town of Céret in southern France, a hidden gem that became a magnet for avant-garde artists like Picasso and Braque. Kisling, a key figure in the School of Paris, uses bold, geometric blocks of color—notice the chunky tree trunk and the boxy houses with their bright red roofs—to transform a quiet village scene into something almost architectural. It's a perfect snapshot of the moment when traditional landscape painting was shifting toward the structured shapes of Cubism, all while keeping that lush, Mediterranean greenery intact.
