Maurice de Vlaminck - Restaurant de la Machine


Maurice de Vlaminck
Restaurant de la Machine a Bougival
1905


The oranges/blues in the street and the reds/greens in the garden are great examples of both complimentary colors and analogous colors. I like the fact that the painting is completely swallowed by so many different vivid colors; it is so vibrant and full of energy while the little touches of white make it delicate. I think we can all be attracted to this one today because the weather is getting warmer and the trees are getting brighter and fuller and this is a portrait of a perfect summer day.

  1. the use of color is so random...it really makes it look cheerful and peaceful, and yet something exciting seems to be just around the corner.
