EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Noa Noa (Fragrant), from the Noa Noa Suite, 1893/94" by Paul Gauguin takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century French Polynesia. The image portrays a group of four local people in traditional clothing, carrying something on their shoulders as they traverse through lush farmland. Gauguin's artistic genius shines through this piece, showcasing his deep connection with nature and his fascination with exotic cultures. The intricate block printing technique used adds a unique touch to the artwork, emphasizing Gauguin's mastery in capturing both form and texture. The title "Noa Noa" meaning fragrant in Tahitian language, hints at the sensory experience that awaits viewers. It invites us to immerse ourselves in the scents and sights of this idyllic countryside setting where vibrant plants thrive against a backdrop of rolling fields. As one of the pioneers of post-impressionism, Gauguin sought to break away from conventional art movements and create works that reflected his personal experiences. Through this print, he transports us to an era when rural life was intertwined with nature's beauty and simplicity. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago gallery, this photograph is part of Gauguin's larger body of work known as the Noa Noa Suite. It serves as a testament to his legacy as an artist who dared to explore new frontiers while preserving cultural heritage for generations to come.
