EDITORS COMMENTS
Auti te pape (Women at the River), from the Noa Noa Suite, 1893/94 - a captivating print by Paul Gauguin. This mesmerizing artwork transports us to a distant time and place, capturing the essence of French Polynesia in the late 19th century. In this image, Gauguin masterfully depicts a group of women bathing along the riverbank. The dark surroundings create an air of mystery and intrigue, as if we are peering into a hidden cave or cavern. The nakedness of these female figures adds an exotic element to the scene, emphasizing their connection with nature and their freedom from societal constraints. Gauguin's use of block printing technique enhances the texture and depth within each stroke, creating a visually stunning composition that is both strikingly simple yet rich in detail. The letterbox format further emphasizes the panoramic view, allowing us to immerse ourselves fully in this enchanting landscape. As one of the pioneers of Post-Impressionism movement, Gauguin's work often explored themes related to identity, culture, and spirituality. 'Auti te pape' embodies his fascination with Polynesian heritage art while also challenging traditional notions of beauty through his portrayal of nudity. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Gauguin's artistic genius and his ability to transport viewers across time and space through his evocative imagery. It is no wonder that it has found its home at the prestigious Art Institute Chicago where it continues to captivate audiences with its timeless allure.
