La Belle Angèle
Gauguin, who had decided to "dare all", broke with the traditional practices of perspective and spatial unity. In a process taken from Japanese prints, he circled the portrait of Angélique Satre and laid it on a mainly decorative background, partitioning the forms and surrounding the figures with a darker outline.
The rigid pose, the young woman's ceremonial costume and the inscription LA BELLE ANGELE printed in capital letters reinforce the solemnity of the portrait. On the left, Gauguin has inserted an anthropomorphic pot, in a Peruvian style, which adds symbolic force and seems to be an exotic version of a Breton idol. Regarded as a masterpiece by Degas, who bought it in 1891, La Belle Angèle is a striking illustration of Gauguin's main aesthetic concerns in the heteroclite assembly of various sources of inspiration which he regarded as primitive and in the simplification of the forms.
