The artwork titled “Les Ibis” was created by Jean Metzinger in 1907. It belongs to the art movements of Fauvism and Neo-Impressionism and is categorized under the genre of animal painting.
“Les Ibis” is a vibrant and dynamic piece showcasing a lush, tropical landscape filled with vivid colors and energetic brushstrokes. The composition features various plants and flowers in intense hues of red, yellow, purple, blue, and green. Amidst this vivid landscape, there are ibises prominently displayed, contributing to the lively atmosphere. The interplay of colors and forms exemplifies the characteristics of Fauvism, with a focus on bold, non-naturalistic colors, and the structured, dot-like application of paint reveals the influence of Neo-Impressionism. The overall effect is a mesmerizing, almost dreamlike scene that celebrates the beauty of nature.
