Description
In a cloudy tree-lined plain, the artist creates a landscape, based on part of the Cubist compositional solutions, based on which the artist captures his forms with geometric volumes. This is evident in this particular composition if one focuses on the rendering of the foliage of the trees, which lack any realistic detail and are conventionally depicted with circular geometric volumes. On the contrary, their trunks reflect a more realistic tendency, although it does not seem to preoccupy the artist at the moment. On the first level the arched tops of the olive trees are depicted, while in the central part of the composition three of them are arranged in such a way that they refer to an imaginary stepped triangle, in this way partly creating a sense of perspective. Thus, the left (to the viewer) corner of this imaginary triangle is closer to the first level of the composition, in which part of the trunk of the tree and the root are not discernible, the left is arranged a little further back from the straight line of the left, while the apex of the triangle is discernible in the middle of this imaginary figure. A second imaginary triangle is formed by the three olive trees that are arranged in the left part of the composition with the top of the tree that we see in the first level on the left and the two trees on either side of it form its base. In the trees of this second imaginary triangle, Angelos Theodoropoulos attempts to render the shadows created by olive trees. In perspective, the composition continues with the impression of the arched tops of the olive trees, while its horizon is the cluster of vertical volumes created by the cypress trees in the background. Finally, the clouds in the sky, and especially in the upper left corner of the composition, create a lateral imaginary line with a direction from the upper left to approximately the middle of its right part.
