About the piece

Painted in 1889 during his stay in Brittany, Paul Gauguin’s 'Bonjour Monsieur Gauguin' is a seminal work of Synthetism. The composition utilizes bold, flat areas of saturated color and strong outlines to depict a chance meeting between the artist and a local woman. The dramatic blue sky and rhythmic arrangement of trees reflect Gauguin's departure from naturalism toward a more symbolic and decorative visual language.
