This work was made while the artist was especially focused on the Divisionist technique. In their horizontal, vertical and oblique arrangement the single lines of colour sculpturally shape the subjects represented, bestowing them with volume. The landscape, characterized by clear-cut and essential outlines, expresses a strong interior dynamism thanks to the lively contrast of the dabs of pure colour.
