Pully under Snow 1912

Clarence Gagnon painted "Pully under Snow" with oil on canvas. Gagnon, a Québécois artist, spent much of his career in France, which deeply shaped his artistic sensibilities. Here, the village of Pully is blanketed in snow, transforming familiar structures into abstract forms. The artist uses short, impressionistic brushstrokes and vivid colors, creating a scene that vibrates with light and energy. Notice how the snow isn't just white; it's a complex interplay of blues, yellows, and pinks. Gagnon often sought to capture the essence of a place, not just its surface appearance. His works are not only visual representations but also emotional landscapes, reflective of his profound connection to nature and his cultural heritage. The scene offers a serene escape, inviting viewers to contemplate the simple beauty of winter.
