Vision After the Sermon (1888)

The Vision After The Sermon Aka Jacob Wrestling The... - Paul Gauguin
Originally a gift to a local church, in Nizon, but the church would not accept it. Gauguin carried the woman featured in the Breton Women over to Vision After the Sermon, and Paul had refined his Cloisonissm style which he had imported from his friend and painter Emile Bernard. The questionable meaning of the painting was the reason for the church's disapprovals and Paul's not so loyal history. Paul believed the simplistic geometries better interpreted emotions, rather than complex more realistic representations. Giving way to many influences beyond Modernism, into Cubism and Orphism.
