Description:
Terug van het veld of Boer op ossenkar is kenmerkend voor de vroege periode in het oeuvre van Hubert Malfait. De opbouw met gesloten vlakken, het sobere koloriet en de sterk doorgedreven vormvereenvoudiging verraden de invloed van het kubisme en expressionisme. Malfait woonde in Astene aan de Leie en net als Constant Permeke, Gustave De Smet en Frits Van den Berghe zocht hij zijn onderwerpen in het dagelijks leven van de boeren uit zijn omgeving. Hij behoorde tot een generatie jongere kunstenaars die onder invloed van de Vlaamse expressionisten werkten.
