Jourdan's Cottage 1906

"Jourdan's Cottage" (1906) by Paul Cézanne depicts a simple rural scene with a focus on geometric forms and color. Cézanne, known for his revolutionary approach to landscape painting, utilizes broad brushstrokes and vibrant hues to capture the essence of the subject. The building's flat planes and the tree's simplified forms emphasize the artist's exploration of structure and perspective. This work is a testament to Cézanne's commitment to exploring the relationship between natural forms and the artistic representation of those forms, a key concept in Post-Impressionism.
