This landscape painting from 1917 depicts a landscape with trees. The delicate green of the lush trees in the center of the composition is framed below by the warm yellow-green of the meadow and by the representation of a mountain range in the background, rendered here in blue-green. In its coloration, the painting evokes spring; the vitality and abundance of life seem to be inscribed in the mighty trees with their imposing foliage. The depiction of the trees makes it clear that Evard is pursuing his path from Art Nouveau toward abstraction. The trees still appear to be composed partly of circular and swirling elements, yet here Evard leaves behind the ornamental design\u2014the group of trees appears abstract and the forms dissolve completely in the network of foliage. Through the many suggested round forms, the painting possesses great dynamism: a vortex-like effect emanates from it and seems to want to draw the viewer into the image. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
