Expressionist landscape from 1938 by Armand Jamar, depicting a bare row of trees across soaked winter fields in a powerful, atmospheric palette.
This atmospheric landscape from 1938 captures Armand Jamar at a mature and expressive moment in his career. A row of bare trees bends rhythmically across the water-soaked fields, their dark silhouettes set against a heavy, grey-blue sky. A faint sun breaks through the clouds, allowing subtle reflections to shimmer in the puddled ground below.
Jamar’s trademark expressionist language is fully present: vigorous brushwork, muted yet emotionally charged tones, and a sense of motion that runs through the entire composition. Despite the modest subject, the painting conveys a sharp tension between silence and movement — a hallmark of Jamar’s later work as he moved beyond impressionism into a more expressive, almost abstract exploration of light.
