Corsican Landscape 1907

"Corsican Landscape" (1907) by Auguste Herbin is a vibrant depiction of a Corsican seascape. The painting showcases Herbin's signature use of bold, flat colors, particularly in the vivid red roof of a building against the blue-purple water, creating a striking contrast. The landscape is simplified, with long brushstrokes suggesting trees and a winding path, while the sky is a soft, layered expanse of light blue and pink hues. This artwork embodies the expressive and simplified style of early 20th-century landscape painting, often referred to as "Fauvist," with a strong emphasis on color and emotion over realistic detail.
