The Wildenstein Institute will include this painting in their forthcoming Vlaminck catalogue raisonné.
Vlaminck was greatly impressed with the works of Cézanne and gradually abandoned the fauvist palette of his earlier works in favor of the blues, greens and browns that he saw in the artist's paintings. As Cézanne had said, "objects are born out of color, color comes before all. One cannot look for order without equilibrium of forms, especially without the equilibrium of areas of color" (quoted in F. Fels, Vlaminck, L'Art et la vie, Paris, 1928, p. 58).
The motif of the river and bridges was recurrent in Vlaminck's work. He painted numerous pictures of the Seine at Chatou, Pecq, Bougival, Carrieres-sur-Seine, Poissy and other vistas along the river. "Vlaminck had a gift of evoking landscape with a suggested radiance that is clearly in excess of his actual means. Light in Vlaminck's pictures is generated by an opposition of what are really brownish, bluish, greenish, reddish or yellowish-blacks and a similar variety of solid whites" (P. Heron, M. de Vlaminck, exh. cat., London, 1965, p. 1).
In 1920 Vlaminck commented, "Even today at forty-five years plus I have the same enthusiasm for the themes of my youth: a path through the forest, the topography of a road, the banks of a river with its profound waters, the reflection of a house" (quoted in M. Sauvage, Vlaminck, Sa vie et son message, Geneva, 1956). The present painting depicts the village of Passy not far from Paris. Vlaminck has reduced the composition to volumes of spheres and squares. The Cézannesque approach to the landscape is also echoed in the constructive brushstrokes of the reflections and the palette.
