Painting Description
"La marchande de bonbons" (The Candy Seller) is a painting by French artist Paul Sérusier, a post-impressionist painter closely associated with the Nabis, a group of avant-garde artists in the late 19th century. Created in 1899, the painting is a quintessential example of Sérusier's style, which was heavily influenced by Paul Gauguin and characterized by the use of bold colors, simplified forms, and a focus on the symbolic and spiritual aspects of art.
The painting depicts a woman selling candies, set against a richly colored, almost abstract background. The composition is notable for its departure from realistic representation, instead employing a stylized aesthetic that seeks to capture the essence of the subject through color and form. Sérusier's use of flat areas of color and the cloisonnist technique, which involves outlining color fields with dark lines, reflects the influence of Japanese prints and the broader trend of Japonism that was popular among European artists at the time.
"La marchande de bonbons" is emblematic of the Nabis' goal to transcend the mere imitation of nature in favor of creating works that evoke an emotional response. Sérusier's approach to this painting aligns with his belief in the importance of the artist's inner vision and the expressive power of color, which he famously encapsulated in his advice to fellow artists: "How do you see these trees? They are yellow. So, put in yellow; this shadow, rather blue, paint it with pure ultramarine. These red leaves? Put in vermilion."
The painting is part of a broader body of work by Sérusier that contributed to the development of modern art in the early 20th century, influencing subsequent movements such as Fauvism and Abstract Expressionism. "La marchande de bonbons" is not only a testament to Sérusier's individual talent but also a reflection of the collaborative and innovative spirit of the Nabis, who sought to break down the barriers between fine and decorative arts and to infuse everyday life with the spiritual and aesthetic values they cherished.
Today, "La marchande de bonbons" is considered an important work in the oeuvre of Paul Sérusier and is studied for its historical significance and its role in the evolution of modern art. The painting can be found in the collections of major museums and continues to be exhibited as part of retrospectives on the Nabis and their impact on the art world.
