signed on the lower right "Vlaminck', labeled a gallery seal on the reverse "Galerie Kleinmann et Cie"
Vlaminck moved to the small village Rueil la Gadelière, away from Paris, in 1925, making it his last residence. His work around this time began to emphasize the contrast of white while using more subdued colors than before. His brushstrokes also became more dense and transformed into energetic, emotional and lyrical works. It derives from the intense stormy sky that is typical of the landscape of this region. The Brezolles depicted in this work is a region in Rueil-La-Gadrière, the land that Vlaminck loved. The street leading to the church is cleverly placed in front of the screen, with a view towards the center of the work. Is the white color of the ground snow? This white contrasts with the white clouds in the sky and seems to correspond to each other. As can be seen in this work, the works of this era maintain a sense of expressive touch and original lyricism, while maintaining a solid sense of stability and unbreakable rigor. This exquisitely maintained equilibrium is a splendid thing that can only be achieved by Vlaminck in later years, and it can be said that this work is a work that embodies it. Born in Paris, France in 1876. Having an atelier in cooperation with André Derain and Chateau, and Vlaminck created his own style as the greatest painter's career. In 1905, at the recommendation of Henri Matisse, he participated in the Société des Artistes Indépendants (Society of Independent Artists) at the age of 29. Furthermore, the work group of Salon d'Automne (Autumn Salon) displayed with André Derain and Henri Matisse in the same year is called "The Beast (Forve)", and then he becomes a central figure of the Fauvism movement. Although Vlaminck rejected tradition and believed only his own talent, the artist himself stated that only Van Gogh had been affected, and the works were also influenced. Vlaminck's paintings appeared to be smearing the primary colors squeezed out of the paint tube, and the screen is characterized by a slight depression rather than brightness.
