The blue evening mood of the artist André Evard presents itself to us in nuanced shades of blue and green with a wildly agitated sky, whose arabesque clouds are designed flatly in the center of the picture. In contrast, they pile up in the upper part of the picture to form a pastose, dark green cloud formation. Its compositional counterpart can be found in the lower part of the picture, where André Evard uses the same color and the same pastose brushwork to create a small forest. The artistic sophistication, which he proves here once again, emphasizes the two-dimensional character of the work.
In this picture, which was created in 1961 and is characterized by its ornamental flatness, Evard deals with his Art Nouveau-style early work. The cool, dramatic coloring and the diffuse light evoke a mystical mood that captivates the viewer.
