Overview

The name of Pont-Aven, a Breton village in France, is synonymous with a major school of painting in modern art and automatically associated with Paul Gauguin and mile Bernard. In 1888, the two painters established a completely new style: Synthetism. Breaking with academic orthodoxy and heavily influenced by Japanese prints, they introduced novel aesthetic principles. In this superbly illustrated and insightful book, works from the collection of Alexandre Mouradian reveal the international scope of what was a haven for those artists--including Maurice Denis, Eric Forbes-Robertson, Henry Moret--who wanted "to dare" like Gauguin.
