Paysage avec personnage - Chaïm Soutine
Downstairs at the Orangerie there was an exhibition called "Les Arts à Paris - La collection Walter-Guillaume". Guillaume was a major Paris art dealer in the mid 20th century.
Here, Soutine focuses on the striaght road and respect for the vanishing lines of perspective, accentuated by the figure walking at its centre. The colours remain in natural harmony, but the houses in the background are tilted to the left, using a device Soutine employed quite often.
