Marguerite Rousseau Art

A wonderful impressionistic oil painting depicting a beach scene from the early 20th Century. This piece is part of Rousseau's later works where she used a loser technique in her execution. There are many figures placed about with beach umbrellas. A very attractive depiction with heavy use of paint and vivid coloration. Art measures 15.25 x 21.75 in Frame measures 21 x 27.5 in Marguerite Rousseau was a noted impressionist from Belgium. She adapted a very French painterly style which is exhibited in her works. In this piece she is depicting a scene at the beach in a very unique and abstracted way. It almost has a surrealist, yet fun attraction which pulls in the viewer to participate in the abstractions. The color pallet the artist uses is very captivating, as the deep reds of the umbrella stands out as one of the main highlights. The blue hues from the sky sweep down in to the ocean, as the colors of the people pop and tie in to the work effortlessly.
