EDITORS COMMENTS
In this pastel portrait, we are transported to the late 19th century and introduced to Jean Paul Aube, a renowned French sculptor, and his young son. The image exudes an air of tranquility as we witness a tender moment between father and child. Jean Paul Aube stands tall beside his son, who is engrossed in a book he holds delicately in his hands. The boy's intense concentration is palpable as he immerses himself in the world of literature. It is evident that education and knowledge hold great importance within this family. As our gaze shifts towards Jean Paul Aube, we notice him gently wiping his hands with a cloth. This simple act speaks volumes about the artist's dedication to his craft. His hands bear traces of clay or dust from sculpting masterpieces that have left an indelible mark on art history. The composition of the painting is harmonious, with warm tones enveloping both father and son. Gauguin's skillful use of pastels brings out their features with softness and depth. This exquisite artwork now resides at Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee du Petit-Palais in France where it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. As we admire this print today, let us appreciate not only the artistic genius behind it but also the enduring bond between a father and his son captured for eternity by Gauguin's brushstroke.
