About The Creeks

“The Creeks,” created by Francis Picabia between 1942 and 1944, is an expressionist landscape rendered in oil on wood. Measuring 105 by 75 cm, this artwork belongs to a private collection.

The artwork features a vibrant and dynamic interpretation of a coastal landscape, characterized by the use of bold, vivid colors. Dominated by rich hues of red and orange cliffs, these contrasting with the deep, turbulent blue waters below, convey a sense of movement and emotion. A sailboat is visible in the distance, adding a sense of scale and further emphasizing the expanse of the seascape. Two figures are swimming in the water, adding human elements that bring the scene to life. The overall composition captures the raw beauty and energy of nature, as well as the harmony between humans and their environment.
