Beach at Le Pouldu - Paul Gauguin
In Beach at Le Pouldu, Paul Gauguin, a major figure of Post-Impressionism, depicts a tranquil scene of Breton life. He depicts a seascape, where the beige sand of the beach forms a gentle contrast with the intense blue of the sea. This notable example of Gauguin's synthetism is distinguished by its use of a restrained but powerful palette, its pure forms and sharp contours echoing feelings of isolation and serenity. Plage au Pouldu embodies the painter's escape from modernity, in search of authentic artistic expression and idealised harmony with nature.
