EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Manao Tupapau (Watched by the Spirits of the Dead)" by Louis Roy showcases Paul Gauguin's exquisite woodcut printed in yellow, orange, and black on beige wove paper. Created during spring/summer 1894, this artwork measures 25x40 cm and is housed at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Gauguin's masterpiece delves into themes of spirituality and afterlife as it portrays a female figure being watched over by ethereal spirits. The image exudes a sense of tranquility as the woman peacefully rests in her slumber while under the protection of these ghostly beings. The artist's post-impressionist style shines through with his bold use of colors and intricate details that bring life to this otherworldly scene. The composition evokes a profound connection between life and death, showcasing both vulnerability and strength. As we observe this nude figure in her state of rest, we are reminded of our own mortality while also finding solace in the idea that there may be guardians watching over us even after passing. Louis Roy's expert printing technique enhances Gauguin's vision, capturing every nuance with precision. This remarkable piece invites viewers to contemplate their own spirituality and reflect on what lies beyond our earthly existence.
