Description
The painting "Because Rizo - Brittany - 1888" by Paul Gauguin is a work that encapsulates both the essence of post -impressionism and the particular interest of the artist in rural life and his subjects. In this composition, Gauguin presents a scene that takes place in the quiet, but at the same time intense rurality of Brittany, a place that exercised a deep attraction on the artist during his stay in the region. He painting It is a testimony of his search to capture the simplicity of peasant life and nature through his characteristic style, which markedly distance from the conventions of realism.
Visually, the work stands out for its representation of a young man because it was in a landscape that evokes feelings of calm and rooting on earth. The young man, who occupies a prominent place in the composition, is surrounded by pigs that, although they do not appear very detailed, are a fundamental element of the visual narrative that Gauguin wants to illustrate. The figure of why Rizo is in force, attracting the viewer's gaze thanks to its almost central position, while the use of almost schematic forms reinforces the idea of an intrinsic connection between the human being and its surroundings.
Gauguin uses a rich and vibrant color palette that characterizes his work during this period. The earthly tones predominate, from the brown and yellow of the field, to the green of the surrounding landscape. However, it is not limited to a naturalistic representation; The color is treated symbolicly, creating an atmosphere that transcends mere visual representation. This is aligned with its increasingly bold approach in the use of color, anticipating the developments that would mark Fauvism and other movements. Contrasts and color saturation in "because Rizo" contribute to building an almost dreamlike sensation, questioning the traditional notions of representation.
The context of the work is in a period where Gauguin seeks to free himself from the ties of impressionism and explores new forms of artistic expression. During his stay in Brittany, the artist not only painted everyday life, but also fed on local culture and traditions, seeking to instill his works with a sense of the primitive and the authentic. This search translates into its decision to simplify forms and use a bold color, an approach that can be seen in other works of this era, such as "the vision of the sermon" (1888).
"Because Rizo - Brittany" is erected, thus, as a key piece that illustrates the crossing between a more narrative approach and an aesthetic that anticipates certain formal experiments of modern art. Although the painting It may seem simple at first glance, the interrelation between subject and environment, the use of color such as language and compositional skill reveal a deep meaning and artistic mastery that are only fully appreciated in a detained contemplation. The work not only reflects the life of a young peasant, but also evokes an emotional resonance that is felt in the simplicity of everyday life. In essence, Gauguin manages to convert an instant of agricultural work into a visual expression that suggests both peace and the struggle inherent in the existence itself.
