Vase of flowers 1886

Paul Gauguin's "Vase of Flowers" from 1886 showcases his characteristic use of bold color and simplified forms. The painting depicts a vase filled with colorful blooms, including pink, red, yellow, and orange, against a muted background. The flowers are rendered with visible brushstrokes, contributing to the overall sense of vibrancy and movement. The composition, characterized by the use of thick outlines and contrasting colors, exemplifies Gauguin's artistic style, known as Synthetism, which sought to convey emotion and symbolism rather than strict realism.
