ABOUT THE WORK

Riders on the Beach by Paul Gauguin was created in 1890 and is in Museum Folkwang Essen. The size of the work is 77,8 x 88,4 cm and is made of oil on canvas. Two hooded riders with mask-like faces, charging toward him from the left, cross the path of a group of riders heading toward the sea visible in the background. The painting possesses a fascinating palette of colors, which Gauguin masterfully built upon the pink-violet of the beach that dominates the composition. Gauguin had already created similar beach scenes, sometimes with unnatural colors, during his stays in Normandy and Brittany (cf. 'Breton Seaweed Collectors'). Aside from the obvious reference to Edgar Degas in the composition, this painting articulates a palpable longing, a romantic view of the vast, endless sea. There are also thematic references to Albrecht Dürer's engraving 'Knight, Death and the Devil' (1513), a reproduction of which Gauguin pasted onto the cover of his manuscript 'Avant et après', which he completed shortly before his death in 1903; the text is a retrospective of his artistic career. In the painting 'Cavaliers on the Beach', Gauguin intensively explored the motif of the rider, incorporating Dürer's conception of the Rider of Death. The Artist: Paul Gauguin (1848 - 1903) was a French Post Impressionist artist. Unappreciated until after his death, Gauguin is now recognized for his experimental use of color and Synthetist style that were distinct from Impressionism. Art Movement: Post Impressionism The Theme of the Work: Animals - Horses
