Landscape in Ceret 1913

"Landscape in Ceret" by Auguste Herbin, painted in 1913, exemplifies the artist’s embrace of Cubism, a style that emerged in the early 20th century. Herbin, like other Cubists, breaks down the natural world into geometric shapes, with the landscape fragmented into interlocking planes of vivid color. This approach is evident in the depiction of trees, buildings, and the surrounding environment, where the viewer is drawn into the abstract, yet captivating, interpretation of the scene. The work is characterized by a vibrant palette of greens, blues, and oranges, adding to the Cubist aesthetic of geometric abstraction.
