Paul Serusier, The Stream, 1892
Serusier moved to Pont-Aven in 1888 and befriended Paul Gauguin and other artists in the area. While he was there, he painted The Talisman under the guidance of Gauguin. The work takes Cloisonnism to its farthest extreme: glowing blocks of color mix and meld together, prefiguring abstract art.
