The artwork “Cubist Landscape with Haystacks” by Raoul Dufy, created circa 1913, is a notable piece within the Fauvism art movement. Measuring 45.4 x 60 cm, this landscape genre painting remains part of a private collection.
The artwork exhibits a vivid landscape populated with gently rolling hills, haystacks, and village houses. Rendered in a cubist style, the composition is characterized by fragmented geometric forms, with a palette dominated by earthy tones mixed with splashes of blue, green, and yellow. The scene portrayed is pastoral, with trees dotting the landscape and a stream winding through the fields. The brushwork and color application creates a dynamic visual effect, embodying the expressive quality typical of Fauvism, while also embracing cubist influences in its structural form.
