The Talisman, 1888

"The Talisman" is a small, square painting that depicts a forest scene in muted colors. It is considered an important work in the history of modern art because it was a key influence on the development of the Fauvist movement and the broader Post-Impressionist movement.

Paul Sérusier was a French painter who was a pioneer of abstract art and an inspiration for the avant-garde Nabi movement, Synthetism and Cloisonnism. The painting, that became known as The Talisman, was created under the close supervision of Gauguin. It is an extreme exercise in Cloisonnism that approximates to pure abstraction.

Émile Henri Bernard - Self-Portrait

Émile Henri Bernard (1868 – 1941) is known as a Post-Impressionist painter who had artistic friendships with Van Gogh, Gauguin and Eugène Boch, and at a later time, Cézanne. Most of his notable work was accomplished at a young age, in the years 1886 through 1897. He is also associated with Cloisonnism and Synthetism, two late 19th century art movements. Less known is Bernard's literary work, comprising plays, poetry, and art criticism as well as art historical statements that contain first hand information on the crucial period of modern art to which Bernard had contributed.
