This abstract work balances representation and abstraction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJacques Villon, born Gaston Émile Duchamp, was a French Cubist and abstract painter, also known for his printmaking. He was the brother of artists Marcel Duchamp and Suzanne Duchamp-Crotti. Villon developed his own style of Cubism, characterised by geometric forms and a bright colour palette. He was a member of the Section d'Or group, which included artists such as Juan Gris and Fernand Léger. 'Au coin du bois' ('At the Edge of the Woods') exemplifies Villon's later style, moving towards greater abstraction while retaining a sense of spatial depth. The composition is built from interlocking geometric shapes in shades of yellow, green, red, and brown. These forms suggest trees, foliage, and sunlight filtering through the woods. The painting's surface is active, with visible brushstrokes adding texture and movement. The overall effect is a harmonious balance between representation and abstraction, capturing the essence of a woodland scene through a Cubist lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/glass-and-checkerboard-juan-gris\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eGlass and Checkerboard - Juan Gris — Juan Gris\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/still-life-with-ginger-pot-ii-piet-mondrian\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eStill Life with Ginger Pot II - Piet Mondrian — Piet Mondrian\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacques Villon","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57746511593807,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57746512380239,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57746512413007,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Au-coin-du-bois_Poster_CompositorV1_1779324365802.jpg?v=1779325706","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/au-coin-du-bois-jacques-villon","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
