My apologies, for these are quite out of order by date. In some cases I don't know the date assigned to a painting and with others, I'm afraid to mess with their placement on the blogger layout which is notorious for giving me trouble.
1888.
In the same year, Gaugin painted this counterpiece

All rather excellent. Thank you for that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. I confess, I like Toulouse-Lautrec's and Gaugin's portraits of him more than I like his works. I guess he had a fetching personality. Lovely paintings.
ReplyDeleteI Love love love these. I have been influenced by Bernard for most of my painting life. His Breton Women, the first one in this post, with the delicious orange pinkish sheaves, along with some paintings by Munch ("Ashes"!!!) made very powerful impressions on me, and continue to affect my work. Shapes, composition, color choices - I can't get enough of some of these pieces.
ReplyDeleteSome here I have never seen before (Harem, Still Life with Flowers, his Grandmother, les nymphes...) and I love the progression many of these show towards the more abstract, flattened style he achieved later with Gauguin and Van Gogh.
I think he is under appreciated, particularly given his influence on so many of the artists around him, including Cezanne.
A very eclectic artist, in fact, because his workarts can be so different. Watching the nudes? then the Breton women, I don't get the impression that it is the same hand that has painted both. Different inspirations, certainly.
