Faces against coloured backgrounds

Head of a Young Girl presents a tilted face framed by dark hair against blue and green. The large eyes and simplified contours concentrate attention on the sitter. Other portraits introduce different clothing, poses and backgrounds while keeping the face prominent within the composition.

Flowers as a compact colour arrangement

Vase of Tulips sets large yellow blooms above a narrow vessel and a small red surface. The bright petals stand apart from the cooler surroundings, making the bouquet a clearly shaped presence. Other arrangements include poppies, lilies and narcissus. Browse still-life prints for further flowers, fruit and objects.

The landscape beyond the studio

Sanary opens onto fields, trees and distant buildings, with the colours organised into distinct areas. Provence and harbour subjects elsewhere extend this outdoor thread. Explore landscape art for other views of cultivated ground and coastal places.
