The artwork titled “Landscape in Morvan” was created by the artist Balthus in the year 1955. This piece belongs to the Expressionism art movement and is a landscape genre painting. The dimensions of the artwork are 27 x 35 cm.
The landscape epitomizes expressionism through its evocative use of color and form. The scene captures a somewhat abstract interpretation of nature, with a focus on the emotional and atmospheric essence rather than precise details. The foreground is dominated by rolling hills, depicted in muted earthy tones. Darker, undefined silhouettes of trees emerge from these hills, contributing to a sense of depth. The sky, rendered in a blend of purples, grays, and light yellows, suggests an overcast or twilight setting, enveloping the scene in a contemplative mood. The artist employs varied brushstrokes to create a dynamic convergence of textures, enhancing the expressive quality of the view.
