tahitian women on the beach paul gauguinEmanating from the Post Impressionist movement, Paul Gauguin's Tahitian Women on the Beach presents an exotic and colourful vision of Polynesian life. In its bold use of primary colours, the painting depicts two seated women, one facing the viewer, the other facing the ocean stretching out behind them. There is a hint of melancholy in their contemplative gaze. It is not simply a landscape or a portrait, but a skilful marriage of these genres, also

the intense contrast between the background and the flowers

In this pointillist work

No point in Georges Seurat's work is left to chance

The composition highlights a row of traditional houses with white facades and sloping roofs

Hopper accurately captures the essence of urban engineering and city life

The propeller is broken down into coloured segments

and the harmonious blend of colours gives the impression of a landscape in constant motion

Rather than depicting a scene realistically

Van Gogh succeeds in capturing the calm and serene atmosphere of the scene through a subtle play of colour and light

Théodore Géricault painted this romantic portrait of a lioness around 1819

Mondrian explores his interest in nature and organic forms

their gestures revealing an elegant intimacy
