Description: | Signed: yes Description: Giving up his job as as a stockbroker in 1883 to paint full time, Paul Gauguin is now regarded as one of the most important Post-Impressionist painters. This significant landscape was one of the first works that Gauguin painted in Pont-Aven, Brittany, where he was shortly to become the focus of a group of artists including painters such as Paul Serusier and Emile Bernard. The picture was painted at a turning point in Gauguin's career, and in his use of paint the artist clearly demonstrates his transition from Impressionistic dabs to the flat areas of colour that characterised the Post-Impressionist style his work would later embody. | Subjects: | figure (shepherdess); everyday life; landscape | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Gauguin, Paul (French painter and printmaker, 1848-1903) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8647... | Go to resource |
