Landscape with three trees 1892

"Landscape with Three Trees" is an oil painting by Paul Gauguin from 1892, a period during which the artist was living in Tahiti. Gauguin is known for his use of bold colors and simplified forms, seen here in the lush greenery and stylized figures. The painting evokes a sense of tranquility and escapism, a common theme in Gauguin's work as he sought to escape the confines of European society. The vibrant palette and the deliberate flatness of the forms are characteristic of Gauguin's Synthetist style, a movement that sought to express emotion and symbolism through simplified forms.
