About Road at Cagnes

The artwork titled “Road at Cagnes” was created by Chaim Soutine between approximately 1922 and 1923. This oil painting on canvas is part of the Expressionism art movement and falls under the genre of landscape painting. Currently, the artwork resides in the Kasama Nichido Museum of Art, located in Kasama, Japan.

“Road at Cagnes” is an evocative landscape painting that demonstrates a vigorous, swirling application of brushstrokes characteristic of Expressionism. The artwork depicts a countryside scene, dominated by vivid greens and yellows, which convey a sense of movement and dynamism. The winding road that traverses the landscape draws the viewer’s eye through the composition, leading them to dwell on the interplay between the natural elements and the built environment. The hills and vegetation appear to be almost in motion, an effect achieved through Soutine’s use of bold colors and dynamic forms, which imbue the landscape with a palpable sense of energy and vitality.
