Updated August 7, 2026

Title: The Tree Technique: Oil on canvas Measures: 23 x 18 inches (58.4 x 45.7 cm) Year: Circa mid-20th century Cubist period Condition: Good condition. Surface presents stable pigment application with expressive brushwork and vibrant coloration throughout. Minor wear consistent with age and handling. Canvas remains structurally sound and display-ready, preserving its geometric composition and exceptional visual appeal. Provenance: From the private collection of André Vasseur, Montpellier, France; later acquired through Galerie Montparnasse Moderne, Paris; subsequently held in a distinguished private collection in Brussels, Belgium, before entering the present collection. Visual Description: This striking Cubist landscape interprets the subject of a tree through bold geometric forms, angular planes, and expressive color harmonies associated with Pablo Picasso's revolutionary approach to modern art. Executed in oil on canvas, the composition combines rich earth tones with vibrant accents, creating a dynamic balance between abstraction and recognizable form. The confident brushwork and fragmented construction make this an exceptional acquisition for collectors of Cubism, European Modernism, museum-quality fine art, and investment-quality paintings.
