Landschap van Bretagne
1888-1889
Bold, rolling hills of yellow, green, and rust-red stretch across the paper, separated by dark, curvy outlines that make the landscape look like a giant, vibrant stained-glass window. Painted around 1888 by a 20-year-old Emile Bernard in Brittany, this piece showcases his rebellious 'Cloisonnism' style, which ditched realistic shading for flat patches of color bordered by thick lines—much like enamel jewelry. Fun fact: Bernard's young, radical approach actually inspired his older friend Paul Gauguin to completely change his own painting style, proving that sometimes the student teaches the master!
