Cap Canaille ved Cassis. 1909

"Cap Canaille ved Cassis" is a pencil drawing by French artist Othon Friesz, created in 1909. The artwork, now housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a landscape view of the Cap Canaille cliffs overlooking the French town of Cassis. Friesz's loose, expressive lines capture the rugged beauty of the coastline, highlighting the dramatic interplay of light and shadow on the rocky terrain. This drawing exemplifies Friesz's exploration of landscapes and his use of simplified forms and dynamic brushstrokes, characteristic of the Fauvist movement.
