train smoke, 1900
the picture is one of the series of landscapes from the turn of the century, with rhythmic and lyrical tones in surfaces, colours and lines, bearing hardly any traces of the earlier nervous energy and restless experimentation. the tentative observation of nature is portrayed in a classic, simplified technique in the synthesising art nouveau style of the time.
