343 Paul Sérusier - A painting of a woman holding a stick
Summary
Français : La femme porte un capot noir de travail alors porté par les femmes de la région ; on reconnait la plage de Kerrou et la pointe de Porsac'h.
Paul Serusier (1864–1927) French Post-Impressionist painter and theorist who was instrumental in the formation of the short-lived, but highly influential, late 19th-century art movement known as the Nabis. The group was noted for its expressive use of colour and pattern in the mode of Paul Gauguin. Sérusier’s early paintings featuring the people and landscapes of Brittany are noteworthy for their muted, contemplative mood, which the artist achieved by using firm contours and blocks of unmodulated colour.
