Summary

High summer at Uccle, seen in a blaze of pure colour. A flowering meadow tumbles down to a still pond that mirrors the sky in strokes of cobalt and turquoise; beyond it a band of golden field runs up to a dark, luminous wood of blue and violet, and above, the sky itself is woven from flecks of cream, rose and green. Raphael paints entirely in the divisionist manner he perfected here — small, separate touches of thick, unmixed pigment laid side by side, the impasto so dense the surface glitters like mosaic. There is no drawing to speak of and no horizon to rest on, only colour set vibrating against colour until the whole field seems to shimmer in the heat. It was at Uccle, the leafy Brussels suburb where he settled in 1912, that Joseph Raphael found his mature voice. Before his own garden and the fields around it he became one of the most radiant of the American Impressionists, and the painter who carried the living example of European Post-Impressionism home to California. His work is held by the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Oakland Museum of California, among others. A vivid and fully resolved example of his finest period.
