EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Washerwomen, from the Volpini Suite: Dessins lithographiques, 1889" captures a scene of daily life in 19th century France. Created by renowned artist Paul Gauguin in 1889, this piece showcases his mastery of lithography and his ability to depict the beauty found within ordinary moments. In this image, we see a lone female washerwoman diligently tending to her laundry on the banks of a serene river. Bending forward with focused determination, she scrubs clothes against a washboard while goats graze nearby. Gauguin's use of black and white adds depth and contrast to the composition, emphasizing both the woman's laborious task and the peacefulness of her surroundings. Gauguin was known for his exploration of color and exotic landscapes later in his career when he traveled to French Polynesia. However, this earlier work demonstrates his skillful portrayal of everyday scenes that were prevalent during that time period. The attention to detail in capturing not only the woman but also her environment showcases Gauguin's commitment to depicting reality through an impressionistic lens. "Washerwomen" is part of Gauguin's larger series called Volpini Suite which consists of various lithographic prints created during this era. This particular artwork offers viewers a glimpse into domestic life at that time while highlighting Gauguin's artistic prowess as both an impressionist and post-impressionist painter.
