About the piece

Painted in 1890 during Paul Gauguin's influential period in Brittany, 'Houses in Le Pouldu' demonstrates the artist's move toward Synthetism. The work uses flat planes of bold color and rhythmic lines to transform a simple village scene into a sophisticated composition that captures the essential character of the French countryside.
