Second Bucolic: Beautiful Alexis 1955

"Second Bucolic: Beautiful Alexis" (1955) is a lithograph by the French artist Jacques Villon (1875-1963). The artwork depicts a pastoral scene with figures and animals. Villon's signature is prominent on the bottom right of the image. This lithograph is a prime example of the Cubist style, where multiple perspectives are shown simultaneously. The fragmented and geometric lines used by Villon for the figures and animals contribute to the sense of dynamism and depth. The color palette is soft and muted, with warm tones like yellows and oranges and cool tones like blues and greens, further illustrating this rural and natural setting.
