Biarritz 

Kimon Loghi painted this oil on canvas, called Biarritz, with horizontal bands of color, creating a tranquil seaside scene. Notice how the composition is structured around the interplay between the cool blues of the sea and sky, and the warmer pinks and oranges of the land. The painting's formal qualities evoke a sense of calm and openness. The horizon line is low, giving prominence to the sky, which occupies about half the canvas, and the artist’s brushstrokes are loose and expressive, particularly in the rendering of the clouds and water. This technique captures the fluidity and movement of the scene. Loghi challenges the conventional landscape. He employs color and texture to convey an experience of place rather than a precise depiction. The painting invites ongoing interpretation, asking us to consider how Loghi uses visual elements to shape our perception and understanding of the natural world.
