Drink to the Chimera 1947

"Drink to the Chimera" (1947) is an abstract oil painting by the French artist Jacques Villon, who was a prominent figure in the Cubist movement. The work showcases his mastery of geometric abstraction, with a vibrant interplay of geometric shapes in various colors, creating a dynamic and almost kinetic effect. This painting exemplifies Villon's transition from early Cubism to a more lyrical and expressive style, often incorporating vibrant colors and gestural brushstrokes.
