L'orage en mer 1946

"L'orage en mer" (Storm at Sea), a 1946 painting by French artist Charles Lapicque, is a vivid example of his signature style. Known for his bold, geometric shapes and bright colors, Lapicque created a dynamic and almost abstract depiction of a storm-tossed seascape. The painting captures the energy of the storm with fragmented, overlapping forms and a swirling palette of blues, reds, and greens. The figures of sailors, barely discernible within the chaos, add a human element to this dramatic scene.
