In bold, vibrant shades of blue, Evard creates a vast, hilly landscape under a moving sky. Dark tree forms structure the composition and set rhythmic accents within the flowing surface of color. The interplay of light and shadow is created solely through the variation of blue—from deep indigo to delicate sky tones.
Created in 1948, the work shows Evard’s shift toward a freer, more expressive style of painting after the Second World War. Here, color is no longer used to describe nature, but is understood as a vehicle for mood and emotion. As a result, the landscape appears simultaneously real and remote—a meditative, almost abstract expression of tranquility and expanse.
