Vision After the Sermon by Paul Gauguin, 1888
The women praying aren't watching a real fight — the wrestling bit is supposed to be what they're seeing in their heads after a sermon. He painted it in a Breton village and, from what I can find, offered it to the local church, who wanted nothing to do with it.
Erisava: That red isn't sky or ground. It just sits there and swallows everything.
The Yellow Christ by Paul Gauguin, 1889
Apparently the cross here is modelled on a carved wooden one from a small local chapel, repainted bright yellow and dropped into a working field with the women dressed the way locals actually did back then.
Erisava: The yellow works better than it has any right to.
