About Winter Landscape, Cornwall

The artwork “Winter Landscape, Cornwall” by Matthew Smith, created in 1920, belongs to the genres of Fauvism and Expressionism and is a landscape painting.

The artwork portrays a vivid, almost surreal winter scene set in Cornwall. The use of colors is both bold and unconventional, characteristic of the Fauvism and Expressionism movements. Rich shades of red and blue dominate the canvas, creating a striking contrast and imparting a sense of heightened emotion and intensity. The scene includes a path leading up to what appears to be a house and other structures, surrounded by trees with blazing red foliage. The impressionistic strokes and vibrant palette evoke a dreamlike atmosphere, capturing the essence of the winter landscape through an expressive, almost abstract lens. The boldness and intensity of the color choices and the dynamic composition draw the viewer into the enigmatic and evocative winter scene.
