Landscape at Pont-Aven
Emile Bernard painted this scene in Pont-Aven, Brittany, a major hub for Post-Impressionist artists in the late 1880s where he famously hung out with Paul Gauguin. The thick, rhythmic brushstrokes give the tall trees and rooftops a textured, almost architectural feel, as if the landscape is built from little blocks of color. This work showcases his style just before he fully developed the bold, flat outlines of Cloisonnism, a technique he helped pioneer.
