Every summer, a handful of Brown students pack their bags to a charming village in Bretagne to study at the Pont-Aven School of Contemporary Art. Until the mid-19th century, it was a modest business hub known for its mills and port. Its nature and light attracted artists such as Paul Gauguin, Meijer de Haan, Paul SĂ©rusier and Émile Bernard to work en plein air, forming the “Pont-Aven School” in the early 1890s. Here, Julian Ezenwa ’14 shares two abstract pieces he created during the Summer Studio Art Programme.Â
