EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Horse, with Other Animals and Ornaments" by Paul Gauguin, takes us back to the late 19th century. Created in 1899 or 1900, this woodblock print showcases Gauguin's unique artistic style and his fascination with animals. Gauguin, a French post-impressionist artist known for his exploration of exotic cultures, spent several years in Tahiti during this period. This artwork reflects his time there and features elements from Polynesian culture. The horse takes center stage amidst a collection of other animals like goats. The intricate ornaments surrounding them add an air of mystery and symbolism. The use of block printing technique adds depth to the composition while maintaining a simplicity that enhances its visual impact. Gauguin's mastery is evident in the way he captures the essence of each animal through bold lines and contrasting shades. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this piece invites viewers to immerse themselves in Gauguin's world where nature intertwines with human imagination. It serves as a reminder of our connection to both domesticated creatures like horses and wild animals such as goats. As we gaze upon this remarkable work, we are transported to another time and place - an era when art movements were shifting paradigms. Through "Horse, with Other Animals and Ornaments". Gauguin leaves an indelible mark on art history while celebrating the beauty found within diverse cultures across continents.
