Ville de Paris

Cubist or similarly influenced painting showing what appears to be three nude women, in refracted, abstract form in the middle of the painting. Around them are similarly chopped up and refracted scenery of a bridge, a city, perhaps the base of the Eiffel Tower, and sky, these parts done mostly in green, blue, and yellow colors, with the lightness of color that watercolors bring.

Wikipedia has a quote from the artist about this period of his career:

"This happened in 1912. Cubism was in full force. I made paintings that seemed like prisms compared to the Cubism my fellow artists were producing. I was the heretic of Cubism. I had great arguments with my comrades who banned color from their palette, depriving it of all elemental mobility. I was accused of returning to Impressionism, of making decorative paintings, etc.… I felt I had almost reached my goal."
