Landschap in Bretagne
circa 1905-1910
Paul Sérusier captures the rugged, rolling hills of Brittany in this expressive sketch, likely created around 1905-1910. As a key figure in the Post-Impressionist Nabis movement, he often simplified natural forms into bold, rhythmic shapes, which you can clearly see in the dark, heavily shaded trees dominating the foreground. The use of toned paper gives the scene a warm, earthy glow, almost as if the landscape itself is breathing. It's a wonderful glimpse into how this French artist translated the wild beauty of the countryside into pure, graphic emotion, moving away from strict realism to capture the feeling of the place.
