Round dance of small brethren by Paul Gauguin

Painting by Paul Gauguin “The Dance of the Little Brethren” was written by the artist in 1888 and is a sample of the post-impressionistic method of depiction.

The manner of writing Gauguin combined the features of the two leading directions of painting in the second half of the 19th century: Impressionism and Post-Impressionism.

In the first place, Gauguin is known as one of the greatest masters of post-impressionism. However, the artist as much as possible individualized his creativity so that no template in the evaluation of his creations can hardly be completely true.

Painting “Dance of Little Brethren” fills space and time with warmth and light. Yellow-pink shades make the canvas gentle and touching.

The artist selects complex color combinations, preferring open, open coloristic solutions. The picture is remembered not only for its decorative and exquisite selection of colors, but also for the originality of the composition.

Clearly, there is movement of figures in the dance: light, closed, fast. The movements of the figures are sweeping and open as far as the palette of the canvas itself is open and expressive.

Figures of small bretonok look distinctly and paramountly. They are passionate, sincerely happy. Their figures seem to be engulfed in a golden glow, surrounded, captured in a “ring” of golden colorful strokes. From this, whether their images look at times so majestic and meaningful. Their movements are confident and bold filled with joy and ease.

The background of the painting resembles a decorative panel or tapestry with interlacing of complex color inserts and textures. The image created by the artist is rather soft, but contrast solutions are also possible. Mostly the color pattern of the picture consists of smoothly flowing and overlapping shades and interspersings of complex colors.

The artistic manner of Gauguin as applied to this painting resembles the technique of pastels. From this work by its way of creation looks ambiguous and curious. Fresh uncomplicated colors, smooth transitions, reminiscent of feathers, create a unique method, characteristic of Gauguin as an outstanding artist of post-impressionism.

In general, the picture is very fresh and non-trivial. To all, it is characterized by certain components of the game. An example of this can be the image of a tiny dog in the foreground, which, in its own way, serves as an additional element that builds this world of childhood and carelessness.
