We just acquired this limited edition portfolio (number 272) of lithographs (offset) after the world famous French listed artist Paul Gauguin (Paris, French Polynesia 1848-1903). This iconic post impressionist image is quite representative of his work. This lithograph was printed in France in 1949. The verso (reverse) is blank. Please see the other images from this series. Dimensions: 11"x14.5" (sheet).
Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin was a French post-Impressionist artist. Under appreciated until after his death, Gauguin is now recognized for his experimental use of color and Synthetist style that were distinctly different from Impressionism.
Paul Gauguin is one of the most significant French artists to be initially schooled in Impressionism, but who broke away from its fascination with the everyday world to pioneer a new style of painting broadly referred to as Symbolism. As the Impressionist movement was culminating in the late 1880s, Gauguin experimented with new color theories and semi-decorative approaches to painting. He famously worked one summer in an intensely colorful style alongside Vincent Van Gogh in the south of France, before turning his back entirely on Western society. He had already abandoned a former life as a stockbroker by the time he began traveling regularly to the south Pacific in the early 1890s, where he developed a new style that married everyday observation with mystical symbolism, a style strongly influenced by the popular, so-called "primitive" arts of Africa, Asia, and French Polynesia. Gauguin's rejection of his European family, society, and the Paris art world for a life apart, in the land of the "Other," has come to serve as a romantic example of the artist-as-wandering-mystic.
