EDITORS COMMENTS
The print "Mahna no varua ino (The Devil Speaks), from the Noa Noa Suite" captures a mesmerizing scene that transports viewers to 19th century French Polynesia. Created by renowned artist Paul Gauguin, this black and white woodblock print showcases his mastery of the post-impressionist art movement. In this image, a group of men and women gather around a bonfire on a mysterious night. The figures are depicted with intricate details, highlighting their exotic attire and unique facial expressions. Gauguin's use of block printing technique adds depth and texture to the artwork. As we delve into the composition, we witness an enchanting dance taking place called "Mahna no varua ino" which translates to "The Devil Speaks". This ritualistic performance is deeply rooted in Polynesian culture and beliefs. Through his artistry, Gauguin immerses us in this ancient pagan tradition, capturing both its beauty and enigmatic nature. The setting itself is Tahiti, one of the Otaheite Windward Islands in French Polynesia. Gauguin's fascination with this remote country inspired him to create numerous works depicting its people, landscapes, and customs. His exploration of Tahitian heritage through literature further influenced his artistic vision. This particular print was originally created between 1893-1894 but wasn't printed or published until 1921. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences today as it hangs proudly within the Art Institute Chicago's prestigious gallery space dedicated to prints and drawings. Gauguin's "Mahna no varua ino" invites us into a world where mystery intertwines with cultural traditions—a testament to his ability to evoke emotions through visual storytelling.
