Ferme normande

"Ferme normande" by Jacques Villon exemplifies the artist's mastery of Abstract art within the context of a landscape genre. Created in 1914, this work reflects Villon's innovative approach to form and color, emphasizing geometric simplification and expressive line work. As a key figure in early 20th-century avant-garde movements, Villon's technique combines bold shapes with a focused use of palette, inviting viewers to interpret the rural scene through a distillation of essential elements. The title suggests a rural farm setting, encapsulating a serene, agrarian landscape rendered with a modern, abstract sensibility.
