Party wall 1881

Paul Gauguin's "Party Wall" (1881) depicts a rural scene with a brick chimney protruding from a building in the background. The foreground is dominated by a thick growth of trees and foliage, hinting at the vibrancy of nature. Gauguin's signature style is evident in the bold, expressive brushstrokes and the use of vibrant colors, particularly the greens and yellows. The painting is a testament to Gauguin's exploration of Impressionism, emphasizing the fleeting beauty of nature and the effects of light. This work exemplifies Gauguin's interest in capturing the essence of the natural world, particularly its lush greenery, before he moved on to his more symbolic and expressive style of painting.
