The Poplar Avenue at Moret Cloudy Day Morning by Alfred Sisley

The Poplar Avenue at Moret Cloudy Day Morning once exhibited in “French Rural Landscape Painting Exhibition in 19th Century” in 1978 attracted numerous audiences in China with its strong artistic charm. The Poplar Avenue at Moret Cloudy Day Morning was made in 1890, which could be said to be the representative work of Alfred Sisley‘s later works. During this period, the painter’s strokes were quicker and

partly proved the dark transparent thin and high light opaque coating in the traditional painting techniques. Look at the surface of the canvas: the brush dipped in paint of Sisley was very thick. Sisley almost neither used the color oil, nor mixed the colors, but painted the original colors in the canvas. And the adjacent strokes were not linked together after complete drying. Different colors and brush strokes made the painting produce the vivid collision and vibration of air molecules.
