“Gauguin’s lush Bouquets et céramique sur une commode evidences the sensual delights which were of central concern to the artist throughout his career.  Gauguin took joy in depicting the natural world and its raw, unspoilt beauty. Like Barbizon and Impressionist painters before him, he was attracted to pastoral themes and everyday motifs as an emblem of a pristine past, free from the complications of modern civilized life.   His uninhibited approach to these subjects resulted in dramatic experimentation with color and form. With its vibrant tones applied in quick diagonal brushstrokes, the present work reveals a style reminiscent of Van Gogh’s painting.”
