Title: Paysage coloré aux oiseaux aquatiques
Description: Paysage coloré aux oiseaux aquatiques (Colored Landscape with Aquatic Birds) is an oil painting created circa 1907 by the French artist and theorist Jean Metzinger. Paysage coloré aux oiseaux aquatiques is a Proto-Cubist work executed in a Post-Divisionist style with a unique Fauve-like palette. Metzinger's broad omnidirectional brushstrokes in the treatment of surfaces render homage to Paul Cézanne, while the luscious subtropical imagery in the painting are an homage to Paul Gauguin and Metzinger's friend Henri Rousseau. Paysage coloré aux oiseaux aquatiques is located at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
