Nobody any longer paints like Germaine Lacaze in the flamboyant style inherited from the Impressionists and the Fauvists. Superbly ignoring the dull greys and dirty browns that plague our cities and countryside, the artist generously deploys the full range of reds and yellows, blues and greens in her landscapes as well as in her still lifes and luscious nudes.

Lacaze’s gardens are Eden within the reach of anyone who knows how to use their eyes.
