The Seed of Areoi - Art Prints
100 Rs
Paul Gauguin (1848 - 1903) was a French Post-Impressionist artist who was not well appreciated until after his death.
Gauguin is now recognized for his experimental use of color and synthetist style that were distinctly different from Impressionism.
He was an important figure in the Symbolist moment. His bold experimentation with color led directly to the Sythetist style of modern art. View Artist Collection

About The Seed of Areoi
Here a young Polynesian woman sits on a blue-and-white cloth. Gauguin’s style fuses various non-European sources: ancient Egyptian (in the hieratic pose), Japanese (in the relative absence of shadow and modelling and in the areas of flat colour), and Javanese (in the position of the arms, influenced by a relief in Indonesia’s Borobudur temple). But there are also signs of the West, specifically through aspects of the pose derived from a work by the French Symbolist painter Pierre Puvis de Chavannes. The colour, too, is eclectic: although Gauguin claimed to have found his palette in the Tahitian landscape, the exquisite chromatic chords in The Seed of the Areoi owe more to his aesthetic invention than to the island’s visual realities.
