Beskrivelse av samleobjektet

In 1888, Filiger moved to Pont-Aven, where he met Gauguin and his friends at the Pension Gloanec. He abandoned a naturalist style for the principles of Synthetism and, like an illustrator of popular images, began to create small scenes in gouache that he called “little illuminations” and that are commonly known as Notations chromatiques (Colour Notations). They represent around a third of his works and depict landscapes or religious scenes set in Le Pouldu. The influence of Japonism is evident in this Breton landscape, particularly in the slanting tree.

early life and training

charles filiger, a french symbolist painter, was born on november 28, 1863, in thann. as the son of a wallpaper manufacturer in mulhouse, filiger's artistic style would later be influenced by his family's profession. he first studied decorative arts before specializing in painting at the académie colarossi in paris.

association with gauguin and pont-aven

in 1888, filiger arrived in pont-aven, a village in brittany, where he associated with paul gauguin, a renowned post-impressionist painter. this period significantly influenced filiger's work, as seen in his paintings from the late 1880s and early 1890s. other notable artists who joined the colony during this time include paul sérusier, charles laval, meijer de haan, armand séguin, henry moret, and émile jourdan.

artistic style and patronage

from 1890, filiger received a monthly payment of 100 francs from his patron, count antoine de la rochefoucauld. this support allowed filiger to focus on his art, characterized by its geometric approach, expressionless faces, and mystical imagery. his landscapes, such as breton shore, reflect gauguin's abstract quality and simplification.

selected works and museums

plage au pouldu (c. 1890), private collection
