Synthetism, an artistic movement that emerged in the late 19th century, revolutionized the way artists approached their subjects. Clovis, a mesmerizing masterpiece created around 1886 by an unknown artist, showcases the essence of this avant-garde style. With bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors, it captures the raw emotions and energy of its subject. In Portrait of a Man from 1884, another oil on canvas creation, we witness the power to delve into the depths of human character. The artist skillfully portrays not only physical features but also inner thoughts and feelings through simplified forms and intense hues. Moving onto I greet thee Maria from approximately 1894, we encounter a different medium: watercolor and brown chalk over brush and black ink on paper. This delicate artwork demonstrates how Synthetism transcends traditional boundaries by combining various techniques to create a harmonious composition that evokes both serenity and mystery. Oviri is yet another remarkable piece dating back to 1894—a watercolor monotype heightened with gouache on Japan paper. Here, Synthetist principles are pushed further as bold lines intertwine with vivid colors to depict primal forces at play—passion unleashed upon canvas. Les Pavillons at Paris Exposition Internationale in 1900 stands as evidence that Synthetism had gained recognition within established art circles. Painted using oil on canvas technique, this work embodies innovation while celebrating tradition—an exquisite blend of modernity within classical aesthetics. Cottages on the Flanks of Mont Sainte-Marguerite; Chaumieres au flanc de la Montagne transports us to picturesque landscapes where simplicity reigns supreme. Through gouache strokes in Young Breton Girl by the Sea; Jeune Bretonne au bord de la mer (1889), we feel nature's embrace alongside human presence—a testament to Synthetism's ability to capture the essence of existence. Human Misery.
