Twilight (Crépuscule) c. 1925 - 1926

"Twilight (Crépuscule)" is a lithograph by Maurice de Vlaminck, created around 1925-1926. The artwork depicts a tranquil scene, likely in the French countryside, with a body of water in the foreground. The use of bold black and white strokes creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, typical of Vlaminck's Fauvist style. Vlaminck was known for his vibrant colors and expressive brushwork, but this lithograph demonstrates his mastery of black and white, capturing the soft light of twilight with a striking simplicity. The work showcases the artist's fascination with the natural world and his ability to evoke a sense of place through evocative use of line and tone.
