Description

It is there at Anseremme that Pantazis must have painted Almond Trees in Blossom, which confirms the new way of looking at nature and its depiction through a luminous amalgam of shades on the pink of the flowers and the light red on the roofs of the houses, on the brown-green of the ground, in the reflections of these colours in the sky. An abundance of paint, applied with rugged, skilful brush-strokes with the help of the spatula, with a freedom which inevitably dissolves the outlines, leads to a painting which is almost gestural, in which colour is the basic structural feature of the picture.
