Billancourt désespéré (gris)

Despite the use of white and blue, everything in this monotype takes on a gray hue, due to the black paper used as a support. The train gives the impression of emerging from the night, without fully succeeding. Jean-Baptiste Sécheret is very sensitive to the light in the landscapes he paints, so he uses a variety of hues to convey their vibrations (Cf Billancourt désespéré).
