The Path of forest 1928

"The Path of Forest" (1928) by André Derain is a depiction of a woodland scene. The canvas is dominated by a stand of trees with deep green foliage and a stark white birch trunk in the foreground. The path winds through the woods, leading the viewer's eye into the depths of the forest. The warm, golden tones of the ground contrast with the cool greens of the trees, creating a sense of depth and atmosphere. This work showcases the characteristic Fauvist style of Derain, who was known for his bold use of color and simplified forms.
