About Landscape of Cagnes

“Landscape of Cagnes” is a cityscape artwork created by Chaim Soutine approximately between 1924 and 1925. The medium used is oil on canvas, and the piece belongs to the Expressionism movement. This artwork is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, located in Chicago, Illinois, United States.

The artwork depicts a vibrant, somewhat distorted view of the town of Cagnes-sur-Mer in France. The composition showcases a collection of closely packed buildings with red-tiled roofs, winding roads, and lush green vegetation. The town appears nestled against the rolling, dark blue hills in the background. Soutine’s use of bold, swirling brushstrokes and vivid color contrasts, typical characteristics of Expressionism, imbues the scene with a sense of movement and emotional intensity. The buildings seem to sway and undulate, almost defying the laws of gravity, creating a dynamic and somewhat surreal visual experience.
