Kerity Landscape 1927

"Kerity Landscape" (1927) by Louis Marcoussis is a Cubist depiction of a harbor scene. Geometric shapes, flat planes of color, and a fragmented perspective define the landscape. The bright blue sky, a green hill, and a boat near a white building are the main elements of the composition. The Cubist style, popular in the early 20th century, aimed to break down traditional methods of representing reality and to explore the nature of space and form through abstract elements. Marcoussis's painting exemplifies this approach by presenting a simplified, stylized vision of the subject.
