City with viaduct 1930

"City with Viaduct" (1930) by Louis Marcoussis is a Cubist painting depicting a cityscape with a viaduct in the background. The painting is characterized by its geometric forms, flat planes of color, and fragmented perspective, all hallmarks of the Cubist style. The composition is arranged in a way that emphasizes the city's structure and the viaduct's presence, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The artist's use of color is also notable, with muted tones and contrasting hues that add to the painting's overall sense of harmony. The painting showcases Marcoussis's talent for capturing the essence of urban life with a blend of realism and abstraction.
