The Avenue 1923

"The Avenue" (1923) by Alice Bailly is a striking depiction of an urban landscape. This painting offers a bird's-eye perspective of a city street, where a central avenue lined with trees is flanked by buildings. Bailly's use of muted colors and simplified forms creates a sense of depth and emphasizes the geometric structure of the cityscape. The composition is characterized by a strong central axis, drawing the viewer's attention to the focal point of the avenue and its surrounding greenery, capturing the essence of modern city life.
