About the artist: Paul Gauguin is one of the most significant French artists to be initially schooled inImpressionism, but who broke away from its fascination with the everyday world to pioneer a new style of painting broadly referred to asSymbolism. As the Impressionist movement was culminating in the late 1880s, Gauguin experimented with new color theories and semi-decorative approaches to painting. He famously worked one summer in an intensely colorful style alongsideVincent Van Goghin the south of France, before turning his back entirely on Western society. He had already abandoned a former life as a stockbroker by the time he began traveling regularly to the south Pacific in the early 1890s, where he developed a new style that married everyday observation with mystical symbolism, a style strongly influenced by the popular, so-called"primitive"arts of Africa, Asia, and French Polynesia. Gauguin's rejection of his European family, society, and the Paris art world for a life apart, in the land of the "Other," has come to serve as a romantic example of the artist-as-wandering-mystic. About this piece: When Gauguin paintedStill Life with Three Puppieshe was living in Brittany among a group of experimental painters. He abandoned naturalistic depictions and colors, declaring that art is an abstraction to be derived from nature while dreaming before it. The puppies bodies, for example, are outlined in bold blue, and the patterning of their coats mirrors the botanical print of the tablecloth. It is thought that Gauguin drew stylistic inspiration for this painting from childrens-book illustrations and from Japanese prints, which were introduced to him by his friend and fellow artist Vincent van Gogh that year.
