Gourdon is a medieval Provençal village perched on a rocky peak and known for its panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. None of this is evident from Soutine's Landscape of Gourdon , however, in which a wind-blown, writhing screen of trees presses against the foreground, and the whitish spaces between them emerge in sculptural masses of paint. Soutine painted a series of landscapes following his 1918 flight from war-torn Paris to Provence, which included a stay in Cagnes-sur-Mer with Renoir, who was engaged in painting Mediterranean scenes in a more classical style.
