Cows in a Meadow 1909

Roger de La Fresnaye's "Cows in a Meadow" (1909) is a striking example of the artist's early style, characterized by simplified forms and vibrant colors. The painting depicts a pastoral scene with two figures, cows grazing in a meadow, and trees in the background. Fresnaye's use of flat planes and geometric shapes, along with bold outlines, is characteristic of the Cubist movement, while the bright colors and overall sense of serenity contribute to the painting's captivating beauty. The work showcases Fresnaye's interest in capturing the essence of nature through a modern, simplified lens.
