Woman in blue
*Woman in Blue* encapsulates Gustave De Smet’s art during the interwar period. The influence of the Cubists is evident in the simplified, solid forms, outlined in black. The face is shown in full profile and conveys a gentle melancholy. De Smet employs a simplified colour palette, featuring ochre yellow and the grey-blue of the garment. It is a ‘tender’ form of Expressionism that does not seek to highlight problems, but rather to celebrate life.
