Émile Bernard artwork entitled Breton Women with Seaweed
In this enigmatic scene, four women occupy a stark landscape. The red form looming behind them is probably a mound of seaweed, gathered by the Bretons for fertilizer. The interlocking shapes bound by dark borders exemplify Cloisonism, a style Bernard developed in the mid-1880s, inspired by the outlines of cloisonné enamel or stained glass. The canvas may be unfinished, but its emphasis on pure form and pattern approaches the fully abstract work of the next generation - Indianapolis Museum of Art
