Galerie Mont Still life with fan – Paul Gauguin^ Gauguin

Still Life with Fan by Paul Gauguin is a vibrant celebration of colour and form, a bold reflection on beauty in the ordinary. It is an immersion in Gauguin’s post-impressionist world, with its emphasis on intense colour and simplified forms. The canvas, dominated by warm, exotic hues, is home to a composition of coloured fruit, a fan and a small, deeply hued mural.

The still life genre is sublimated here by Gauguin’s attention to textural detail, illustrating the sensory richness of these simple objects. The depiction of the objects overflows with life, as if they were endowed with a soul. The painting evokes the influence of non-Western art on Gauguin’s work, and his constant quest to break with the artistic conventions of his time, finding renewed beauty in everyday objects.
