ABOUT THE WORK

Macario Vitalis has come to be known for his potent brand of modernism. A fauvist quality in most of his works, the planar aspects of his cubism are often infused with an odd choice of palette – such predilections of the artist were to later veer towards pointillism. This very work by the renowned modern is among his earlier creations. Still of a scene from Plestin Les Greves, we are treated to the impressionistic side of Vitalis, sans the fauvist palette choice. An excellent piece from the prestigious artist.
