The correct answer is color. Paul Gauguin was known for his experimentation with color, particularly his use of bold and vibrant hues in his paintings.
The artist, Paul Gauguin, most obviously showed experimentation through his use of color.
To determine which option best answers the question, we need to analyze Paul Gauguin's painting "Haystacks in Brittany." We can look for evidence of experimentation in his use of perspective, texture, color, and line.
To assess perspective, examine how Gauguin depicts the fields of hay, cows, and people in relation to each other. Are they realistically proportioned or distorted in some way?
For texture, observe the brushstrokes or other techniques Gauguin uses to represent the hay, cows, and people. Do they appear smooth and realistic, or do they have a rough or abstract quality?
Consider the colors employed in the painting. Are they traditional or unexpected? Are they used in a realistic or symbolic manner?
Finally, evaluate the lines in the artwork. Are they fluid and curvilinear, or more geometric and angular? Do they delineate objects in a traditional way, or are they used in a more experimental or unconventional manner?
Based on this analysis, you can determine which element Gauguin most obviously experimented with among perspective, texture, color, and line.
