oil on artist's board

Notes

‘The tree, probably the subject he depicted most often, may certainly be taken in general terms as a symbol in which life forces and life phenomena are represented. The painter here reflects the realisation of an eternity, encapsulated in a piece of his own country. In this way the local environment is given worldwide expression.’
