"description": "In this view of a distant kitchen garden, nature has been transformed into an intersecting network of abstract, geometric forms. Diagonal lines suggesting roads and fields in the foreground converge on the long, horizontal garden structure and tall trees in the distance. Transparent planes of prismatic color infuse the entire composition with dynamic energy. The artist was member of the Puteaux or Section d\u2019Or (Golden Section) Cubists, who based their compositions on principles of scientific color theory and mathematics.",
