'Flight' is a striking example of Post-impressionism by the renowned French artist, Paul Gauguin. As a genre painting, it abstractly captures everyday life with an imaginative twist, appreciated for its expressive use of colour and innovative form. Gauguin traditionally used oil as his primary medium and typically applied this onto a resilient canvas. Reflecting Gauguin's personal journey into exotic cultures, 'Flight' beautifully illustrates his departure from European conventions and serves as a hallmark in his extensive oeuvre.
