Pasture In Rolleboise 1939

Maximilien Luce painted this "Pasture In Rolleboise" with what looks like joyful, broken brushstrokes, laying down colours like he's building a mosaic of light and atmosphere. Up close, you can almost feel the thick impasto of the paint, especially in the luminous sky where blues, greys, and whites mix. It's not so much about perfect representation, but about the pure, visceral joy of applying paint to canvas. Check out how he's rendered the foliage, individual daubs of green and brown creating a sense of vibrant, living texture. This approach reminds me of Van Gogh's landscapes, where every stroke is alive with energy, embracing the messiness and unpredictability of the creative process.
