Paul Gauguin: Swineherd, Brittainy

The Swineherd, Brittainy
1888: 36" x 29"
Los Angeles County Museum of Art

     This colorful painting has more realistic space than many paintings by Gauguin in his mature style. 'The Swineherd' has a distinct foreground, with the farmer and his pigs, and a background of small village homes and sky. The strong colors and patchlike strokes of paint are what we most recognize as belonging to Gauguin. Later works would be flattened with more emphasis on pattern and design.
