The artwork “Charing Cross Bridge, London” was created by Andre Derain in 1906. It falls within the Divisionism and Neo-Impressionism art movements and takes on the genres of landscape and cityscape.
The artwork depicts Charing Cross Bridge in London, showcasing the artist’s unique style of breaking down colors into individual dots and brushstrokes that blend to form a coherent image when viewed from a distance. The painting features vivid and vibrant hues with a sunset or sunrise adorning the sky, casting a warm glow over the scene. The bridge and the surrounding area are represented in hues of greens, blues, and reds. The cityscape in the background is simplified into basic shapes, complemented by the textured and colorful portrayal of the water and sky. The stunning use of color and light gives the artwork an impressionistic and almost dreamlike quality.
