Landscape of Weinbourg

Landscape of Weinbourg, Vosges du Nord Luc Hueber (1888-1974); Oil on canvas, 1933. Dimensions without frame: 50 × 62 cm. No missing parts or overpainting. Created in full artistic maturity, this work demonstrates Luc Hueber's deep attachment to Alsatian landscapes. This landscape of Weinbourg, located in the region of the Vosges du Nord, is part of the continuity of his research influenced by Cézanne and affirmed within the Groupe de Mai. A work representative of his ambition: to inscribe Alsace in pictorial modernity while preserving the poetry of its landscapes. In this peaceful composition, the work on the sky is highly elaborate, revealing a very accomplished technique under the guise of simplicity. Hueber spent his summer quarters not far from there, at La Petite Pierre, in the house of the Pagans.
