Landscape with trees

Mediums: oil, wood.
Location: The collection of the London Department of Culture, Media and Sports (the UK).

Relating to the early (mainly Parisian) period of Dismorr’s creative career, this painting demonstrates the young artist’s courage in using colour and compositional solutions. Expressive Fauvist lines-contours outline not only trees and mountains but also clouds in the sky. However, at the same time, the artist achieved relative harmony with the help of the colour of these bold strokes – they are blue. A bright yellow uneven strip creates the contrast in the middle of the picture (perhaps this is a field). In the foreground, the author placed crooked, bare branches that “do not fit” into the compositional space and divide the entire sloping landscape into segments.
