Original Description
The Blue Pool by Derwent Lees (1884-1931) is a captivating Post-Impressionist landscape that transports viewers to a serene, dreamlike realm painted around 1912-1913. This small yet powerful oil painting (41.9 × 52.7 cm), now housed in the Tate collection, depicts an asymmetrically composed scene of trees framing a mysterious blue pool, rendered in swirling brushstrokes of cerulean, emerald and violet that vibrate with expressive energy. Lees - an Australian-born artist associated with the Bloomsbury Group - created this work during Britain's experimental art period between Impressionism and Modernism. The painting's lyrical quality connects it to European Symbolist traditions while anticipating the emotive colorism of later British modernists. Its significance lies in bridging Australian and British modern art movements, offering a unique colonial perspective on European avant-garde trends, making it an important transitional work in early 20th-century art history.
For interior applications, this artwork's tranquil blues and organic forms make it ideal for spaces promoting calm focus - perfect above a sofa in a study or as a focal point in a bedroom sanctuary. The painting's modest scale suits smaller walls or intimate reading nooks rather than expansive areas. Frame it in a thin walnut or gilt frame to enhance its modern sensibility while respecting its Edwardian origins. Complement the palette with muted sage greens and warm creams in furnishings - perhaps a velvet chaise lounge echoing the painting's deep blues. In corporate settings hang near waiting areas with minimalist furniture to create visual interest without overwhelming corporate aesthetics. The landscape's vertical tree format works beautifully flanking fireplace walls or positioned opposite large windows to create harmonious natural dialogues within interior spaces.
