Mulheres carregando sacos
1891-1893
Paul Sérusier, a leader of the avant-garde Nabis group, depicts two women trudging through a vibrant autumn forest, their backs bent under the weight of large sacks. Instead of realistic shading, he uses flat planes of bold color—like the fiery red canopy and deep green earth—to create a decorative, almost rhythmic pattern. Painted around 1891-1893, the figures seem to merge with the tree trunks, showing how the artist preferred to synthesize nature's essence rather than just copy it. It's a beautiful blend of hard rural labor and pure, expressive color.
