Breton Woman and Goose by the Water 1888

"Breton Woman and Goose by the Water" is an 1888 painting by Paul Gauguin, a prominent figure in the Post-Impressionist movement. The artwork features a simplified, almost childlike depiction of a woman and a goose against a background of vibrant colors. Gauguin's signature style, characterized by bold colors and flat planes, is evident in this work. The painting's flattened perspective and use of unnatural color combinations contribute to its unique and evocative aesthetic. The subject matter reflects Gauguin's fascination with the Breton culture and its traditions.
