Background

Pont-Aven is a commune of the Finistère "département", in Brittany, France, some distance from inland from where the River Aven meets the Atlantic Ocean. From the 1850s painters began to frequent Pont-Aven, wanting to spend their summers away from the city, on a low budget in a picturesque place not yet spoilt by tourism. Gauguin first worked in Pont-Aven in 1886. When he returned in 1888, the situation had changed: Pont-Aven was already crowded, and Gauguin looked for an alternative place to work which he found, in 1889, in Le Pouldu (today part of the community of Clohars-Carnoët), some miles off to the East at the mouth of the river Laïta, traditionally the border of the Morbihan departement. There Gauguin, accompanied by Meijer de Haan, Filiger, and for a while by Sérusier, spent the winter of 1889/1890 and several months afterwards.
