André Brasilier, *Anjou Evening* (Soir angevin), oil on canvas, 46 × 38 cm (18.1 × 15 in.), 1989

Evening in Anjou is an oil painting created in 1989 by André Brasilier (b. 1929). It depicts a landscape in the Anjou region of the Loire Valley, Brasilier's birthplace, and as the term "angevin" suggests, it expresses his deep affection for his native land.

The painting portrays a fiery pink evening sky and a crimson sun sinking below the horizon, viewed beyond a full composition of silhouetted bare trees. The contrast between the slender, vertical lines of the trees and the horizontal planes of color spanning the sky and ground creates a quiet, poetic rhythm. It is a lyrical landscape painting characteristic of Brasilier, blending a Fauvist sense of color with a decorative composition reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints.

Capturing the fleeting yet beautiful moment of dusk, this work conveys to the viewer a tranquil flow of time, as if merging with nature.
