Gauguin 74\/76” (lower right) \u003cbr\u003e Oil on canvas \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Works by the legendary Paul Gauguin, particularly those comprising his still lifes, are rare treasures. This remarkable composition, entitled \u003cem\u003eFleurs dans un vase avec partition musicale (Flowers in a Vase with Musical Score)\u003c\/em\u003e, stands as an important glimpse of the master’s unparalleled eye for color, composition and expressive brushwork. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Using an extraordinary palette of soft pastels and rich jewel tones, Gauguin renders the central bouquet in luminous splendor that emerges in three dimensions against the neutral background. The wrinkled edges of the musical score are almost palpable, painted with the same thick impasto that gives the lush blooms their lifelike energy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When viewing this composition, it is easy to see the technical proficiency that garnered the attention and admiration of fellow artists, including Camille Pissarro, Vincent van Gogh and Edgar Degas. It was Pissarro who persuaded Gauguin to submit a painting to the Salon of 1876. Both Pissarro and Degas were so impressed by his work that they extended an invitation to Gauguin to exhibit at the Impressionist Exhibition of 1879 and subsequent exhibitions thereafter. Even after the Impressionists held their final official exhibition in 1886, Gauguin maintained his association with Pissarro as the movement transitioned into Post-Impressionism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Endowed with an exceptional sense of color and a fervent appreciation for life, he initially engaged in painting merely as a leisure activity. This hobby became his life’s calling in 1882, following the financial setback he experienced due to the Paris stock market crash, which resulted in the loss of his position as a stockbroker. Gauguin’s work, distinguished by its vibrant individuality, would go on to change the course of art history, and his instantly recognizable paintings are held in the world’s most esteemed museums and private collections. Still lifes similar to this one are owned by the National Gallery of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Museo National Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eFleurs dans un vase avec partition musicale\u003c\/em\u003e is accompanied by a certification from The Art Loss Register and is featured in the 1964 and 2002 Wildenstein catalogues raisonnés on the artist.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Circa 1874-76  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Canvas: 16” high x 10 3\/8” wide (40.64 x 27.31 cm)\u003cbr\u003e Frame: 22 1\/4” high x 16 7\/8” wide (56.52 x 42.86 cm) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e View the dossier: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/rau-sfimages.s3.amazonaws.com\/dossier\/Dossier_31-8610.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFleurs dans un vase avec partition musicale by Paul Gauguin\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance: \u003cbr\u003e Armand Parent, Paris, circa 1921\u003cbr\u003e Otto Nierenstein, Vienna, circa 1928\u003cbr\u003e Kunstsalon Abels, after 1950\u003cbr\u003e Römer, Germany, circa 1950\u003cbr\u003e  Private collection, Düsseldorf, circa 1988\u003cbr\u003e M.S.
