Paul Serusier | A collection of 152 paintings | LearnFromMasters |
Description: „The French symbolist painter, designer and art theorist Paul Serusier was an associate and follower of Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) and Emile Bernard (1868-1941) at the artist colony of Pont-Aven, in Brittany. But he is best known as a founder member of Les Nabis, a French group of Post-Impressionist painters, influenced by Gauguin’s use of colour in painting. In 1888, Serusier painted Landscape: Bois d’Amour (The Talisman) (Musee d’Orsay, Paris), and it was this seminal landscape painting, characterized by its semi-abstract treatment, and rich pure colours of purple, vermillion and Veronese green, that launched the group. Other members of Les Nabis included Pierre Bonnard (1867–1947), Edouard Vuillard (1868-1940) and Maurice Denis (1870-1943). Serusier’s theories on fine art painting were, if anything, more important than his own creative work. He is best remembered for his treatise ABC of Painting (1921), which explored colour relationships and proportionality. An active figure in French painting, from 1908 he taught regularly at the Academie Ranson.“ | YouTube
