Paul Gauguin Paintings And Titian Paintings

By Darren Hartley


Paul Gauguin paintings reached broad success in the late 19th century. It was their bold colors, exaggerated body proportions and stark contrasts that set them apart from the work of the contemporaries of Paul. These paintings were the beginning of the Primitivism art movement. Not having any formal training, Paul Gauguin was a French artist who abandoned artistic conventions and simply followed his vision.

Paul quickly became serious with painting, which started as a hobby. One of his works was exhibited in an important Paris art show in 1876. His work appeared among the works of Pissarro, Degas and Monet in an Impressionist exhibition in 1879. One of the most famous of Paul Gauguin paintings, the Vision of the Sermon was created in 1888.

Paul began work on creative and innovative art with the fusion of Tahitian culture with his own in 1891. However, these Tahitian pieces were met with mixed interest by Parisian art aficionados in 1893. It was in French Polynesia that one of the later masterpieces among Paul Gauguin paintings was completed. This masterpiece was a review of the life cycle of man.

It was the first major public commission awarded to Tiziano Vecellio that ensured his stature as the leading Venetian painter of his time. Titian paintings are known for their tonal painting approach and their landscape style which was atmospheric at the same time that it was evocative.

The beauty of nature was celebrated in the pastoral landscapes among Titian paintings in combination with love and music. Among these pastoral landscape paintings were Landscape with Goat and Two Satyrs in a Landscape. The latter was a lush landscape featuring mythological figures. The raw beauty of the landscape was contrasted with a carefully balanced arrangement of the figures.

What was remarkable in the portraits among Titian paintings is not only their suggestion of the status and importance of their subjects but their inclusion of a psychological dimension to them. Sensitivity in the hands and face as well as monumentality of presence are among the aspects that connote status and importance. The instigation of a melancholic or dreamy mood in the subjects exposes the mental dimension.
