When Gauguin painted Still Life with Three Puppies he was living in Brittany among a
group of experimental painters. He abandoned naturalistic depictions and colors, declaring
that “art is an abstraction” to be derived “from nature while dreaming before it.”

2. What is the artwork going to depict?

Still Life with Three Puppies explores expressionism with its use of
colour, dimension and depth. Although the puppies, goblets and fruit are all

have been painted would suggest otherwise. The puppies have been
painted with a strong blue outline.

color.
