André Evard’s landscape depictions are vivid evidence of his great love for nature and run through his entire oeuvre. He dedicated numerous interpretations especially to the motif of the tree and the sunrise and sunset. In earlier depictions, he implemented the motifs—influenced by Art Nouveau—in a rather dreamy, ornamental, or later impressionistic manner. This almost fleeting painting style reveals the painter’s interest in this then completely new and revolutionary conception of painting. Nevertheless, as is usual for Evard, a temporal classification is usually not possible even with the landscape paintings, since he never committed himself stylistically, because constructivist and abstract compositions, which reproduce the landscapes in geometric and fragmented fragments, also belong to his repertoire. In the artist’s oeuvre, there is thus an exciting contrast between the representational interpretations and the mostly colorful, abstract works that contain constructivist elements.
