Language: English / USA
In the 1892 work Tahitian Pastoral by Gauguin, the exotic landscape is depicted with bold, unreal colors in sharp contrast to each other, such as the red sea, the green background, and the black tree. The shapes are flat, devoid of depth, and simplified, such as the tree branch that passes gracefully across the shoulders of the girl. Gauguin paid little attention to classical perspective, and eliminated nuances of color, prioritizing imagination and symbolism.
