Boats on the Beach at L'Estaque

Georges Braque

1906 · Oil on canvas · Modern and Contemporary Art

Following in the footsteps of Cézanne and Derain, Braque spent part of the fall of 1906 and the following winter in the Mediterranean fishing village of L’Estaque. This vibrantly colored harbor view reflects his discovery, at the Salon d’Automne of 1905, of the Fauve painters.
