La Vague
The frontal impact of this composition, the dimensions of the wave and the threatening red background give the wailing women a force that overwhelms the observer. Their cries are also those of the artist. As an artist who was not understood, he levels his desperate accusation against a hostile society that has not granted him the status he claimed.
