Breton Girls Dancing
Pictures by Paul Gauguin
Paul Gauguin's Breton Girls Dancing shows three girls in the white caps and collars of Brittany, hands joined as they dance through a sunny hayfield with a little dog nearby. Gauguin painted them at Pont-Aven in 1888, the summer he moved away from Impressionism toward flat, bold areas of colour. For a friend, or anyone who loves a painting full of joy.
