Lake Geneva and six swans

ID: #4477 | Symbolism | Landscapes

Date: 1914

In this painting we see an abstract landscape with a dominant blue mountain in the background, reflected in the calm waters in front of it. A bridge connects the two sides of the painting and is depicted in simple geometric shapes and colours. Several abstractly painted ducks can be seen on the shore in the foreground, adding a lively element to the scene. The overall impression is calm and poetic, with the use of diffused luminosity and a soft colour palette.

Ferdinand Hodler (1853-1918). A native of Bern, Hodler originally painted portraits, landscapes and genre pictures, gradually developing his own style, which he called parallelism (it is included in symbolic painting directions). His style combined symbolism and art nouveau. He placed emphasis on symmetry and the rhythm of the painting, which, he believed, are the foundation of human civilization. His last works tend towards expressionism, with bold colours, sharp and simplistic lines.
