Observations
Across all four renders, the style uses vigorous, visible brushwork to break landscapes, architecture, figures, and still-life details into angular, simplified forms. Saturated oranges, blues, greens, reds, and yellows sit in strongly contrasting blocks, while dark linear accents and broad strokes give the scenes a lively, graphic structure.
