Out of their meeting was born "synthetism," of which 98 <b>Vision After the Sermon</b>, painted at that time, was the first complete result. 99 </p> 100 <p> 101 It is a bold picture, a religious painting conceived and executed with the faith of a convert to a new artistic credo, but the two faiths were not unrelated in Gauguin's mind: "A word of advice," he wrote to Schuffenecker, "don't copy 102 nature too much. Art is an abstraction; derive this abstraction from nature while dreaming before it, and think more of the creation which will result [than of the model]. This is the only way of mounting toward Godoing as our Divine 103 Master does, create." Thus Gauguin has imagined a peasant vision induced in minds of great and simple faith by a Sunday sermon. In the foreground the peasant women, their backs turned to us, excluding us, as it were, from what they alone 104 can see; in the background the symbolic struggle, two tiny figures on an expanse of unreal red that might be a field or might be the sky. Everything is painted in flat colors separated by clearly drawn contours in a way that is at the 105 opposite pole from Impressionism. There is no color modeling, no blurred edges, no softening of form or hue by an intervening, unifying atmosphere. The unmodu-lated areas of white, black, blue, and red startle the eye by their contrast; 106 the middle ground has been deliberately omitted to separate the peasants and their vision. For the first time Gauguin gives his composition a pulsating unity by employing throughout the curving, rhythmic contour that is to recur in so 107 many future paintings. 108 </p> 109 <p>The picture's sources are many: the bent diagonal of the tree trunk and the downward perspective, as well as the outlines suggest the Japanese woodcut generally, while the wrestlers are from a particular print by Hokusai'; the outlines 110 and the flat, bold colors are akin to medieval stained glass and the woodblock of the <i>images d'Epinal</i>, both devoted to religious subjects; Impressionism is still evident in the way the frame cuts off the figures. All these sources have 111 been put at the service of a new conception. 112 </p> 113 <p> 114 "I believe," wrote Gauguin to <a href="http://www.vincentvangogh.org">Van Gogh</a>, "I have attained in these figures a great rustic and superstitious simplicity. It is all very severe." 115 </p> 116 117 </div> 118 </div> 119 </section><!-- End Content Section --> 120</main> 121 <!-- ======= carousel ======= --> 122 <div class='container'> 123 <div 124 id='carouselControls' 125 class='carousel carousel-dark slide'
