Bouquet 1884

Paul Gauguin's "Bouquet" (1884) is a still life painting showcasing his signature Synthetist style. The piece features a vibrant bouquet of red flowers in a dark vase, set against a deep brown background. Gauguin's bold brushstrokes and flat planes of color create a sense of depth and movement, emphasizing the beauty of the floral arrangement. The simplified forms and decorative elements are characteristic of his post-Impressionist style, which emphasizes feeling and subjective expression over precise representation. This painting can be found at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
