Winterlandschaft 1910

Cuno Amiet made this oil painting, Winterlandschaft, with such delicious colour combinations and brushy marks. I just love how the surface is built up with all these tiny strokes, look at the way he blends the pinks and blues in the hills. It’s like he’s knitting the landscape together, stitch by stitch. I think it’s amazing how the sky is this yellow-purple gradient, and the way the artist uses complementary colours to create this vibrant, almost electric, atmosphere. I feel like I can see the cold, crisp air and hear the crunch of snow underfoot. Amiet's work is a great example of how artists can create their own worlds using colour and texture. Artists like Van Gogh come to mind, with his similar approach to landscape painting. It's like art is this big conversation, with artists responding to and building upon what came before. There's no right or wrong way to see it, just different perspectives and interpretations.
