This square-format oil on canvas dates from the French painter's mature period, when his pictorial search for a passage between the natural world, art and the spiritual world was fully expressed. The composition shows a seascape inspired by the port town of Le Crotoy, his childhood home. The subject borders on the figurative. Manessier adopts a grid matrix to articulate his motifs, like a legacy of cubism, both geometric and organic. The artist finally transcends the subject with clear, luminous colors, an ethereal blue hue that elevates the composition to more spiritual heights.
