Description:
|
|
It was during his stay at the remote fishing village of Pont-Aven in Brittany on the northwestern French coast, that the artist painted Bonjour Monsieur Gauguin (1889). Almost centrally placed in Gauguin’s painting is the figure of the artist himself, bundled in a long and enveloping red cloak, a blue cap, and traditional Breton wooden clogs. He painted Bonjour Monsieur Gauguin after his visit to the Musée Fabre in Montpellier with Van Gogh in December of 1888, where he saw Gustav Courbet’s Bonjour, Monsieur Courbet. Although sharing few formal similarities, Gauguin’s painting is meant to be a response to Courbet. In both works, the artists are central and capture the viewer’s attention. They are representing themselves as a free roaming figure who dwells outside the constraints of society. (Source: Hammer Museum, UCLA [website]; http://hammer.ucla.e du/)
