White Horse by Paul Gauguin, Vintage Fine Art Canvas Print
White Horse, Cheval Blanc (1898) by Paul Gauguin is a vintage post impressionism fine art painting. The contorted branches of a native bourao tree (similar to a hibiscus plant) along with lilies and other flowers decorate this typical Tahitian jungle landscape. A lone horse drinking water from a stream. The white horse is tinged with green from the vegetation. In Polynesia, white is associated with death and worship of the gods. About the artist: Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was a leader in the Post Impressionist movement which extended Impressionism while rejecting its limitations. They used vivid colors, thick application of paint, distinctive brushstrokes and real-life subject matter, but were more inclined to emphasize geometric forms and to use unnatural or arbitrary color.
