Apple trees by Paul Gauguin

Apple trees by Paul Gauguin

The famous French post-impressionist Paul Gauguin began painting in the 1870s, and this fascination made him famous all over the world. The painting “Apple Tree” refers to the early period of the artist’s work, which is associated with the influence of impressionists on the artist’s style. Gauguin met them, participated in exhibitions, studied color and drawing.

In his paintings noticeably simplification of color, its unusual brightness and saturation. “Apple tree” is a picture more reminiscent of a decorative panel or tapestry. Bright, open emotional colors, rather static composition, indicate the emergence of an artist in the style of post-impressionism.

Young apple trees are located against the background of wide fields of the French province, where you can see working people. This is an early spring, the young grass has not completely flooded the surface of the earth, not all fields are plowed up, apple trees with young leaves are preparing for flowering. On the dark blue sky the wind scattered snow-white clouds. The bright sun illuminates everything around, creating contrasting combinations of light and shadow. This joyful landscape, talking about the awakening of life, is filled with cheerfulness and optimism.

The artist at the beginning of his creative path only learns the picturesque techniques, so the color shades are practically not used, only in the green of the trees can one see shades of green. The picture is written in small barely noticeable strokes, they seem to flicker, creating an airy space in the picture. Despite some decorativeness, the picture looks very organic. The painting “Apple Tree” is the beginning of the development of the artist’s creative painting style, leaving behind a huge legacy in the world art.
