Bertrand Jost (1961) - Sans titre

The painting depicts a stylized urban scene in a geometric/cubist style, with a strong, high-contrast chromatic imprint. The composition is organized around a central perspective: a street or square paved with multicolored squares that guides the eye toward the back of the canvas, flanked by square buildings with flat façades in saturated tones — magenta, ocher, green, orange, purple.

The human figures are rendered as black silhouettes, simplified to the extreme, without faces or details, arranged along the route in a kind of promenade or procession that moves away toward the background, creating a rhythmic repetition effect and a sense of urban solitude despite the crowding.

The result is a work that communicates a sense of a dreamed or metaphysical city, where anonymous figures become almost decorative elements of the urban drawing, balancing between public art, illustration, and symbolic painting.
