[LCR]

It so happened that we have gradually formed a collection of Nabi artists - almost by accident. Then too it makes sense to continue. Now Playing Paul Sérusier, and I picked up a bigger image, because maybe he is not as famous as my previous victims, Dai images harder to find.

Extremely capable, inquisitive, friendly and witty, and in 1875 he enrolled at the Lycée Condorcet. In 1885 he enrolled in painting at the Academy Julian, where he befriended Maurice Denis, Emile Bernard, Paul Ransonom. Together they went to museums and exhibitions, together visited Pere Tanguy, who showed them the landscapes of Cézanne. In autumn 1888 Sérusier went to Brittany and stayed in PONT AVEN. There he became acquainted with Gauguin, who gave him some valuable advice in order to liberate the young from the imitative Sérusier academic painting - Gauguin advised him to write pure colors to make their paintings and decorative symbolism.
