EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing "Portrait of Tehamana" by renowned artist Paul Gauguin. Created in 1891/93, this masterpiece is a testament to Gauguin's artistic genius and his deep connection with French Polynesia. The portrait depicts Tehamana, a young Polynesian girl who was both Gauguin's wife and muse. With her striking black hair cascading down her shoulders, she gazes away from the viewer, exuding an air of mystery and exoticism. Gauguin skillfully captures every intricate detail of her features using charcoal and wetted charcoal techniques on cream wove paper. As one delves into this artwork, they are transported back to the 19th century, immersing themselves in the vibrant art movement known as post-impressionism. Gauguin's unique style shines through in this piece as he combines elements of traditional portraiture with his own innovative approach. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this print serves as a window into Gauguin's personal life and his fascination with French Polynesian culture. It offers viewers a glimpse into a bygone era where artists found inspiration in distant lands and sought to capture their beauty on canvas. Whether you appreciate art history or simply admire the raw emotion conveyed through brushstrokes, "Portrait of Tehamana" is sure to captivate your imagination and transport you to another time and place.
