The Village of Mougins (Le Village de Mougins) 1934

"The Village of Mougins" is an etching by Jacques Villon, a noted Cubist artist, from 1934. This print shows a village scene, likely Mougins in the south of France, depicted through Cubist principles of fragmentation and abstraction. Villon's use of parallel lines creates a sense of depth and movement, while the geometric shapes and overlapping forms suggest a modern and dynamic perspective on the cityscape. The etching's delicate lines and subtle shading create a sense of light and atmosphere. Villon was a pioneer in bringing the Cubist movement to printmaking, and his work in this medium continues to inspire artists today.
