Route 15 1965

"Route 15," created in 1965 by the Canadian artist Jean Paul Lemieux (1904-1990), is a striking landscape painting. The minimal composition features a stark contrast between a dark, textured sky and a vast, white expanse of snow, broken only by a subtle, winding road and a lone figure. The monochromatic palette and the muted colors lend the work an air of mystery and isolation, highlighting the vastness and stillness of the Canadian landscape.
