The Profile is Angular, 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Paul Gauguin captures the essence of his unique artistic style. This print, taken from Gauguin's Intimate Journals, showcases the artist's mastery in portraying human profiles with a distinct angularity. Gauguin, a prominent figure in the late 19th and early 20th-century art scene, was known for his contributions to post-impressionism. His works often depicted scenes from exotic locations like Tahiti and were characterized by vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes. However, "The Profile is Angular" demonstrates his versatility as an artist through its monochrome palette and emphasis on form. In this portrait sketch, Gauguin skillfully captures the side view of a female subject. The sharp angles of her face create an intriguing contrast against the softness of her features. Through minimalistic lines and delicate shading techniques, he brings out her distinctive profile with great precision. This artwork exemplifies Gauguin's ability to convey emotion through simplicity. The absence of color allows viewers to focus solely on the composition itself while still experiencing a profound connection with the subject portrayed. "The Profile is Angular" serves as a testament to Gauguin's lasting impact on Western art history. It reminds us that even within one artist's body of work lies a multitude of styles waiting to be explored and appreciated.
