Street Lamp, Arcueil 1899

"Street Lamp, Arcueil" (1899) by Albert Marquet showcases the artist's signature Fauvist style. The vibrant colors, particularly the bold strokes of blue and yellow, capture the lively energy of the scene. Marquet simplifies the forms of the buildings and figures, focusing on the overall effect of light and color, which imbues the work with a sense of serenity and tranquility. This painting exemplifies Marquet's talent for depicting the beauty of everyday life in France, making it a compelling example of early 20th-century French art.
