Saint-Adrien 1914

"Saint-Adrien" is a 1914 woodcut by French artist Maurice de Vlaminck. The piece, characterized by its bold black and white lines, depicts a village scene. The composition is viewed from a high vantage point, showcasing the rooftops and buildings of the village with the surrounding landscape in the distance. The use of strong, angular lines to depict the structures and sky, is indicative of Vlaminck's Fauvist style, which he developed in the early 20th century. This style emphasizes expressive use of color and bold, simplified forms.
