Note du spécialiste

Maïthé Vallès-Bled and Godelieve de Vlaminck will include this painting in their forthcoming Maurice de Vlaminck catalogue critique currently being prepared under the sponsorship of the Wildenstein Institute.

Vlaminck primarily absorbed Paul Cézanne's lessons on building form through careful planar construction; the bold recession and sustained tension of Paysage owes an obvious debt to the 'ordered sensations' of Cézanne and offered Vlaminck a convincing alternative to the perceived formlessness of Fauve landscapes. Furthermore, the increasingly naturalistic use of blues, greens and ochres, that was to characterize his work in the years to come, also recalls Cézanne's palette.
