Paul Gauguin, The Seed of the Areoi, 1892 |
The triviality of subject matter by impressionists concerned post-impressionist painters like Gauguin. The Seed of the Areoi depicts a native Polynesian woman and offers insight into unrepresented cultures and peoples. Moreover, post-impressionists continued utilizing rich, vibrant colors, unique brushstrokes, and depictions of humans like impressionists. However, post-impressionist did away with many old values of the masters and represents a defining moment in art history. Gauguin led the movement through implementation of distorted, elongated figures for emotional effect, abnormal and illogical color, and increasingly geometric figures and forms as seen in The Seed of the Areoi.
