Tenth Bucolic: Lycoris with the Army of Rhin 1955

"Tenth Bucolic: Lycoris with the Army of Rhin" (1955) is a watercolor by the French artist Jacques Villon (1875-1963). Villon's artistic style, often categorized as Cubist, is characterized by fragmented figures and geometric forms. This piece depicts a procession of figures, likely inspired by the ancient Roman poet Virgil's pastoral poems known as the "Bucolics." Villon's bold use of color and abstract lines create a dynamic composition that reflects his exploration of the relationship between form and space.
