The Large Tree, 1891. Creator: Paul Gauguin (French, 1848-1903)
The Large Tree, 1891. Disgusted with the materialism of European society, Gauguin abandoned his family and career as a stockbroker and departed for Tahiti in 1891. This canvas is among the first paintings he completed on the island. Its rich colours and stylized figures were intended to be both symbolic and mysterious, evoking private thoughts and emotions. " I obtain symphonies, " he wrote, " harmonies that represent nothing real in the absolute sense of the word."

The Large Tree, 1891
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic genius of Paul Gauguin. In this masterpiece, Gauguin's disillusionment with European materialism is palpable as he embarks on a journey to Tahiti, seeking solace and inspiration in its untouched beauty. Completed shortly after his arrival on the island, this canvas reflects Gauguin's desire to create art that goes beyond mere representation. With its vibrant colors and stylized figures, "The Large Tree" becomes a window into the artist's private thoughts and emotions. Each brushstroke seems to whisper secrets only known to Gauguin himself. Gauguin once wrote, "I obtain symphonies, harmonies that represent nothing real in the absolute sense of the word". This quote perfectly encapsulates his intention behind this painting - to evoke an ethereal world where reality intertwines with imagination. As we gaze upon "The Large Tree" we are invited into Gauguin's realm of symbolism and mystery. The tree stands tall and majestic, its branches reaching towards an unknown sky. It serves as a metaphor for both nature's resilience and humanity's quest for meaning. This print captures not just a moment in time but also the essence of Gauguin's artistic vision. It reminds us of his profound impact on post-impressionism and his relentless pursuit of authenticity in art. Displayed proudly by The Cleveland Museum of Art, this print allows us to appreciate Gauguin’s legacy as one of France
