Southern Landscape with Medieval Church, Towers, and Agave, Oil on Canvas, Ca. 1920-1930

Condition: Good

This Southern Mediterranean landscape reflects the post-World War I style, an expressionism that returns to the earth and reality, while still holding echoes of the avant-garde.
The artist boldly combines earthy and clay-like tones with intense greens, creating a decorative effect full of character.
The solid, tangible forms, such as the agave in the foreground and the medieval church in the background, are animated by quick and spontaneous brushstrokes, evoking a nature in constant change.

It is as if the painting speaks a visual language of rhythm and vitality, blending the concreteness of reality with a modern sensibility. The signature, partially legible, is visible in the lower left.
