Une Cuisine 1889

"Une Cuisine" (1889) by Maximilien Luce is a depiction of a bustling kitchen with two women at work. The artist's use of pointillism, a technique of applying small dots of color to create an image, is evident in this work. Luce was a member of the Neo-Impressionist movement, which emphasized scientific principles of color and light in their art. The scene is bathed in a warm, natural light that illuminates the kitchen's details and the women's movements. This painting offers a glimpse into everyday life at the turn of the 20th century and is a testament to Luce's mastery of the pointillist style.
