Художник: Paul Gauguin
стиль: Post-Impressionism
Paul Gauguin's The Vision After the Sermon (Jacob Wrestling the Ang) is a stunning example of post-impressionism, a predominantly French art movement that developed roughly between 1886 and 1905. This movement emerged as a reaction against Impressionists' concern for the naturalistic depiction of light and colour, and encompasses Les Nabis, Neo-Impressionism, Symbolism, Cloisonnism, the Pont-Aven School, and Synthetism.
The Painting
The Vision After the Sermon (Jacob Wrestling the Ang) is an oil painting completed in 1888 by French artist Paul Gauguin. It now resides in the Scottish National Gallery, Edinburgh. The painting depicts a scene from the Bible in which Jacob wrestles an angel, but does so indirectly through a vision that the women experience after attending a sermon.
The Artist
Paul Gauguin was one of the principal artists associated with post-impressionism. He is known for his innovative use of colour and form, and his exploration of the relationship between objects and their surrounding space. His work often emphasizes geometric forms, distorts form for expressive effect, and uses unnatural or modified colour to express emotions and ideas.
The Style
Post-impressionists extended Impressionism while rejecting its limitations: they continued using vivid colours, sometimes using impasto (thick application of paint) and painting from life, but were more inclined to emphasize geometric forms, distort form for expressive effect, and use unnatural or modified colour. The movement's artists sought to express their emotions and ideas through colour, and often used unnaturally bright and vibrant colours to do so.
The Influence
Post-impressionism had a profound influence on the development of modern art, particularly in its emphasis on subjective expression and the exploration of new techniques and materials. It paved the way for movements such as Fauvism, Cubism, and Abstract Expressionism, which further pushed the boundaries of traditional artistic practices.
