The artwork titled “Tunis landscape with a sedentary Arabs” by August Macke is a watercolor piece created in 1914. It belongs to the Fauvism art movement and falls under the landscape genre. The dimensions of the artwork are 22 x 28 cm.
The artwork portrays a vibrant and lush scene featuring an individual sitting quietly amidst a colorful landscape, illustrating the peaceful coexistence of human presence within nature. Dominated by vivid colors and dynamic brushstrokes, the composition includes abstract representations of trees, foliage, a building with a bright red roof, and a blue lattice structure. The color palette is rich, with greens, blues, yellows, and reds complementing each other to create an atmospheric and lively depiction of the Tunisian landscape. The Fauvist style is evident through the use of bold, non-naturalistic colors and simplified forms, evoking an emotional response and capturing the essence of the scene rather than a realistic representation.
