Libations, Five Figures in a Mythical Forest
1912
Step into Paul Sérusier's dreamy 1912 world, where five women gather in a lush, stylized forest for a sacred ritual. As a leader of the Nabis—a Post-Impressionist group that loved flat patterns and bold colors—Sérusier ditched realistic perspective for something more magical. Watch the central figure pour a libation from a red vessel into a golden cup held by a seated woman, while others look on in quiet contemplation. The vibrant sarongs and decorative leaves make the whole scene feel like a beautiful, flattened tapestry come to life.
