Nuit sur la Lagune 1955

"Nuit sur la Lagune" (1955) by Charles Lapicque (1898-1988) is an example of the artist's vibrant and stylized approach to landscape painting. The work features bold, geometric shapes and bright colors, reminiscent of the Fauvist style. Although titled "Night on the Lagoon," the painting depicts a scene of simplified, almost abstract, trees and figures with a starry sky, possibly representing a nighttime scene, against a bright, almost luminous, background. The work exemplifies Lapicque's unique style, blending abstraction with a sense of playful observation.
