About this work

The painting shows cliffs and a rocky shoreline. It's a scene from the coast of France. The artist used bold colors to depict the scene, which is interesting because he was influenced by other artists he met in Pont-Aven, like Paul Gauguin, who inspired him to use flat planes of color. You can learn more about this style by looking up the technique of impasto.
