Derout Lollichon

Date: 1886

The painting shows a picturesque landscape with a thatched-roof house in the foreground. The house is set amidst green vegetation and surrounded by trees. Other buildings can be seen in the central part of the painting, and trees and hilly landscapes tower on the horizon. The sky is shrouded by a thin layer of clouds, suggesting an early evening or an overcast day. The colours of the image are slightly muted and give a calm impression. The painting style suggests that this is a work from the Impressionist period.

Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (1848-1903). French painter and a leading figure of Postimpressionism. His experiments with colour strongly influenced modern art of the early 20th century. As one of the first, he subscribed to primitivism: simplified and exaggerated contours of the body, strong and contrasting colours. This artistic style was partly due his admiration for the art of the primitive cultures of Africa, Micronesia and North American Indians. Gauguin himself had the opportunity to experience life on Tahiti, where he resided from 1891 until his death. It was in Polynesia that he created his most famous paintings.
