Markedet i Falaise, Normandiet 1901 - 1904

"Markedet i Falaise, Normandiet" (The Market at Falaise, Normandy) is a painting by Othon Friesz completed between 1901 and 1904. It depicts a bustling market scene with people going about their daily business, emphasizing the social aspects of the market. Friesz’s loose brushstrokes capture the movement of the crowd and the vibrancy of the market, highlighting the Fauvist style that he was associated with. This black and white drawing, housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst (SMK) in Denmark, showcases Friesz's mastery in conveying atmosphere and emotion through a limited palette.
