The Laundresses, from the Volpini Suite, 1889
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by renowned artist Paul Gauguin. This stunning artwork, created in the late 19th century, showcases Gauguin's mastery of color and composition. In this lithograph, two female laundresses are depicted at work on the water's edge. Bending forward to attend to their task, they exude a sense of dedication and concentration. The black ink used for the lithography emphasizes their silhouette against the vibrant yellow wove paper background. Gauguin skillfully captures not only the physical labor involved in laundry work but also conveys a deeper narrative about these women's lives. Their weathered faces suggest years of hard work and resilience. As old age becomes apparent through their features, one can't help but wonder about their stories and experiences. This artwork exemplifies Gauguin's post-impressionist style with its bold use of color and simplified forms. It reflects his fascination with local people and occupations during his time in France. Through "The Laundresses". Gauguin invites viewers to appreciate both the beauty found in everyday tasks as well as contemplate themes of labor, heritage, and human connection. Displayed proudly at the Art Institute Chicago gallery, this print serves as a testament to Gauguin's artistic genius and enduring legacy within art history.
