Impasto Winter Village Oil Painting in Cubed Frame, Europe, 1950's

This impasto oil painting captures a snow-covered village in layered shades of lavender, icy blue and soft pink, punctuated by warm ochre and rust. Thickly worked paint gives the rooftops, winding lane and surrounding trees a tactile quality, with loose, expressive forms lending the scene a dreamlike atmosphere. A sculptural block frame and warm brown fabric liner complement the richly textured surface.
