Original Description
Paul Sérusier’s Étude d’arbres (Study of Trees) is a vibrant testament to the artist’s pivotal role in the Post-Impressionist and Synthetist movements. Painted circa 1888–1890 during his time with the Pont-Aven School in Brittany, the work embodies Sérusier’s break from naturalism, embracing flattened planes, bold outlines, and emotive color—a visual language influenced by Gauguin and Japanese woodblock prints. The painting captures a dense woodland scene where trees twist dynamically, their trunks and foliage rendered in rhythmic strokes of olive green, deep ochre, and midnight blue. Unlike traditional landscapes, Sérusier’s composition feels symbolic, almost mystical, with patches of light breaking through the canopy like scattered gemstones. As a foundational member of Les Nabis, Sérusier pioneered the idea of art as a "flat surface covered with colors assembled in a certain order," elevating Étude d’arbres beyond mere depiction into a meditation on form and harmony. Today, it stands as a critical bridge between Impressionism’s spontaneity and modern abstraction’s bold simplifications.
For interior spaces, Étude d’arbres lends itself to rooms craving depth and tranquility without stark contrasts. Its organic forms and earthy palette harmonize beautifully with minimalist, Scandinavian, or rustic decor—think linen textiles, light wood furnishings, and matte ceramics. Hang it in a study or living room with ample natural light to amplify its lush tones; a medium-to-large scale (around 24x36 inches) ensures presence without overwhelming. Pair it with muted walls (soft gray or warm white) to let the painting’s greens and blues pop, or introduce metallic accents like brass frames or copper lamps for subtle contrast. In offices, it fosters a calming yet creative atmosphere, complementing modern desks or mid-century shelving. Avoid cluttering adjacent walls; let Sérusier’s rhythmic composition anchor the space as a contemplative focal point.
