Brise d'été à Dinard
Clarence Gagnon · 1907
Why it's great
People stroll and rest on a sunny beach with colorful parasols and striped beach tents at the seaside resort of Dinard in France. Clarence Gagnon painted this in his early career, when he was studying in Paris. The bright sand and sea are lively. It's a happy summer day at the beach.
