Vuillard (July)


Edouard Vuillard fills the vision with soft browns and greens that may be Persian brocade design until we see every branch and leaf, if the tree be leaved, is perfectly in place above the unpatterned browns and greens of middle vistas below. Each different tree is distinguishable. It’s one of the small public gardens off Hawthorn or St Kilda streets, lined by Victorian bluestone and gravel paths of undemonstrative white distemper. A family group comes to life in duotone abstracts, faces pinched with July, their attention on some new amusement. A football-shape rests upon green nearby like a recent witticism.
