Description
The "Suburb of Ruan" painting by Paul Gauguin, created in 1884, captures a unique moment through a visual language that seems to prefigure the personal and stylistic search that would characterize the artist's work in his later years. In this painting, Gauguin offers a perspective of the suburban environment of Rouen, an issue that, although apparently everyday, transforms under his unique and poetic gaze.
When observing the work, the composition stands out, in which a palette of vibrant colors is displayed that interrelate multiple nuances that range from deep blue to the yellow and green vibrant, transmitting an almost vibrant luminosity. This use of color is not limited to faithfully replicating reality, but seeks to evoke sensations and moods, characteristics of both impressionism and the beginnings of a more personal symbolism in Gauguin's art. The houses, although represented in a recognizable way, blur in the interpretation and acquire an almost fantasy quality, suggesting the artist's desire for an emotional and aesthetic space that transcends the physical.
Gauguin's landscapes, typically, are not populated by human figures, which could suggest a sense of loneliness or introspection, perhaps reflecting their own search for meaning in a changing world. "Ruan suburb" is no exception; The absence of characters allows the viewer to immerse on stage without distractions, exploring the subtleties of light and shape. This stylistic decision also invites a deeper contemplation about the landscape itself, inviting reflection on the role of the environment in human experience.
Gauguin's style in this work also evokes a certain ingenuity that resembles primitive painting, characteristic of its subsequent artistic development. By simplifying forms and applying a often unnaturalist color, Gauguin establishes a bridge between the realistic representation and a more intimate and emotional expression. In this sense, "Ruan suburb" can be seen as a precursor of his interest in representing more exotic and symbolic worlds in his subsequent works, either in Polynesia or in other parts of the world. The connection between this work and the influences he received during his Ruan stay - a place that served as a meeting point for artists and impressions - allows a clear monitoring of the development of his unique style and his aesthetic concerns.
In conclusion, "Ruan's suburb" manifests itself as a rich and complex work that synthesizes Gauguin's desire to explore the use of color and the shape of a greater expression. Through his landscape treatment, the artist not only offers a look at France from the late nineteenth century, but also feels the foundations for his future experiments in art. This painting, Although less known than his subsequent works, he reveals himself as an important milestone in the evolution of one of the most innovative artists of his time.
