This small, colourful canvas of cold and warm tones illustrates the artist’s fascination for the beachfront where the sky and sea reflect their luminous effects.

The brushstrokes structure the waves and dune. The yellow tones bring out the luminosity of a sun breaking through the clouds. The artist’s palette has frozen an extremely moving landscape with a red tent on the edge of the beach which alone, in the centre of the composition, resists the onslaught of the waves.

The pure touches of colour applied to the canvas in horizontal waves make the shapes disappear and create a very beautiful stormy atmosphere.
