EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gauguin's iconic woodcut, "Le Sourire" created between 1899-1900. Measuring 35 x 24 cm, this piece is part of a private collection and represents one of only nine issues produced by Gauguin himself in Tahiti. The woodcut was intended to challenge the French official colonial establishment while advocating for the cause of French settlers. It serves as a powerful critique on colonialism during the late nineteenth century, highlighting Gauguin's role as both an artist and activist. The image features intricate text and inscription, showcasing Gauguin's skillful handwriting. The words convey his dissatisfaction with the prevailing political climate in France at that time. Set against a backdrop devoid of any human presence, this unpopulated scene transports viewers to Tahiti, where Gauguin sought inspiration for his art. The Polynesian landscape becomes a metaphorical canvas upon which he expresses his artistic vision. Gauguin's work falls within the post-impressionist movement, characterized by its departure from traditional techniques and emphasis on personal expression. His unique style captivates audiences even today. This print captures not just an artwork but also encapsulates an era marked by social unrest and cultural exploration. It invites us to reflect on the power of art as a tool for challenging societal norms and promoting change. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this significant piece from history through their meticulous photography skills, allowing us to appreciate Gauguin's brilliance in detail.
