108 Paul Sérusier - A painting of a group of people standing around a fire
Summary
Français : Paul Sérusier : Le feu dehors ou Mammen (1893). L'encapuchonnage des femmes donne un aspect étrange à cette scène de pardon breton qui décrit peut-être aussi une pratique de sorcellerie.
Paul Serusier (1864–1927) French Post-Impressionist painter and theorist who was instrumental in the formation of the short-lived, but highly influential, late 19th-century art movement known as the Nabis. The group was noted for its expressive use of colour and pattern in the mode of Paul Gauguin. Sérusier’s early paintings featuring the people and landscapes of Brittany are noteworthy for their muted, contemplative mood, which the artist achieved by using firm contours and blocks of unmodulated colour.
