Dokken te Oostende 1920

This 1920 painting by Belgian artist Léon Spilliaert titled "Dokken te Oostende," depicts a harbor scene with a focus on boats and docks, most likely the port of Ostend, Belgium. The painting showcases Spilliaert's characteristic use of somber color palettes and geometric forms. This approach to the subject matter reflects his artistic style, which is associated with Symbolism and Expressionism. The painting's minimalist style, with its focus on shapes and negative space, invites viewers to contemplate the interplay between light and shadow, creating a sense of mystery and depth in the composition.
