Landscape at Caux with increasing clouds 1917

Ferdinand Hodler's "Landscape at Caux with increasing clouds" (1917) is a striking example of his later work, characterized by simplified forms and a focus on atmospheric effects. The painting depicts a view of a rolling landscape, with a vast expanse of sky above, dominated by a series of white clouds. The use of muted greens and blues creates a sense of tranquility and serenity, while the swirling clouds suggest movement and change. This work, housed in the Kunsthaus Zürich, exemplifies Hodler's mastery of color and composition, showcasing his fascination with the natural world and its cyclical rhythms.
