More about this artwork

Gustave De Smet's "Landscape" (1920) masterfully showcases the artist's powerful use of form and contrast to portray rural scenery. Executed in a bold, almost graphic style, the painting emphasizes simplicity and the abstract qualities of the landscape. The composition is segmented into layers, with the darkest tones forming the foreground, populated by simplified plant forms and undulating terrain. The middle ground blooms slightly lighter, suggesting distance and depth, while the sky, dotted with stars, offers a stark, luminous contrast at the uppermost section.De Smet's approach to this landscape does away with intricate detail, opting instead for dramatic, expressive swathes of black and white. This not only captures the serene yet imposing essence of the natural world but also imbues the scene with a sense of timeless, universal quality.
