A Post-Impressionist oil painting by Émile Bernard, 'Breton Woman at Haystacks' depicts a woman in traditional Breton dress set against a coastal background. The work exemplifies Cloisonnism with its simplified forms and bold outlines.
Émile Bernard (1868-1941) was a French Post-Impressionist painter, art critic, and writer, best known for his association with Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh. He was a figure in the development of Cloisonnism and Synthetism, artistic styles that moved away from Impressionism's emphasis on optical realism. Bernard's work often explored themes of religion, symbolism, and rural life, reflecting his interest in spirituality and the traditions of Brittany. 'Breton Woman at Haystacks' exemplifies Bernard's style, with simplified forms and non-naturalistic colour. The composition features a Breton woman in traditional dress, positioned in the foreground against a backdrop of haystacks, sea, and sky. The painting's flat planes and bold outlines are characteristic of Cloisonnism, while the subjective use of colour contributes to its expressive quality. The scene evokes a sense of serenity and contemplation, capturing the essence of rural Brittany and its people.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
Émile Bernard
inventing cloisonnism at twenty, sharing it with Gauguin, watching Gauguin take the credit, and spending decades arguing about who invented Symbolism
