Les drames de la mer - Bretagne (Dramas of the Sea - Brittany), from the Volpini Suite, 1889
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph by Paul Gauguin transports us to the rugged shores of Brittany, France in the late 19th century. The print is part of Gauguin's renowned Volpini Suite, a series that explores the dramatic power and beauty of the sea. In this particular scene, we witness a storm brewing on the horizon as three women stand on a desolate beach. Their figures are silhouetted against an intense black sky, emphasizing their vulnerability in contrast to nature's overwhelming force. The artist's use of black color adds depth and intensity to this atmospheric composition. Gauguin masterfully captures both physical and emotional elements within his work. As we observe these women waiting for something – perhaps shelter or loved ones returning from sea – we can feel their anticipation and anxiety.

Through his post-impressionist style, Gauguin pushes artistic boundaries by experimenting with color and form. Here he employs lithography techniques such as zincograph printing to create bold contrasts between dark tones and vibrant yellow hues. As we gaze upon "Les drames de la mer: Bretagne" we are reminded of Gauguin's ability to evoke powerful emotions through his artistry. This striking image invites
