The artwork titled “Baker’s Hotel” is an oil on canvas painting by Andre Derain, created around the year 1904. This piece is associated with the Cubism art movement and belongs to the cityscape genre.
The artwork features a vibrant and somewhat abstract depiction of a cityscape, rendered with bold brushstrokes and vivid colors. At the center of the composition, a tree stands prominently amidst a collection of buildings and roofs, drawing the viewer’s eye along the pathways and structures that converge in the scene. The use of rich greens, reds, and blues punctuates the otherwise muted tones of the buildings, creating a dynamic visual rhythm. The overall impression is one of bustling urban life, seen through a lens of fragmented, geometric forms characteristic of the Cubist style. The artist’s signature can be observed near the bottom right corner, adding an authentic finishing touch to this striking piece.
