The Aven Stream 1889

"The Aven Stream" is an 1889 painting by Charles Laval, a French artist. The work, which depicts a winding river, shows a transition between the Post-Impressionist and the Symbolist styles. Laval's use of thick brushstrokes and simplified forms convey the essence of the scene, while the vibrant colors suggest a sense of emotional intensity. The painting is now housed in the Strasbourg Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Strasbourg, France. Laval's artistic career was tragically cut short, as he died at the young age of 32.
