Extrait du document

breton
In this painting Van Gogh was observing and trying to learn from Bernard, a painter he had met in Paris and become friendly with. Bernard and Gauguin (another of Van Gogh's artist friends) had been to Brittany to paint the local figures in their traditional costumes and had tried to ignore the normal rules of perspective, producing works whose great pattern-making qualities were obtained by using strong colours and simplified shapes against flat backgrounds.
