This 1959 work depicts an abstract landscape with blue mountains. It can be considered a key work by the artist, as it unites his figurative, abstract, and constructivist painting styles in a single image: here he presents his characteristic motif of a mountain range with a sunrise in a highly abstract manner. The mountain range still stands out sharply from the rest of the atmospheric scenery, recalling Evard’s constructivist oeuvre. He almost seems to want to dissolve the mountains into triangular forms. The artist transforms both the lower part of the painting and the upper part \u2013 with the suggested sun \u2013 into a grand spectacle of color. In terms of color choice, this is also a \u201ctypical Evard.\u201d Here, the artist selects a combination of his favorite colors: pink, light green, yellow, and blue. The result is an atmospheric, light painting, entirely carried by the radiance of the colors, which clearly demonstrates how short the path between naturalistic and constructivist representation can sometimes be. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
