EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Seated Tahitian Youth, 1894/1903" by Paul Gauguin showcases the artist's deep connection with French Polynesia and his fascination with its people. The image portrays a young Tahitian girl seated in a serene pose, her profile beautifully captured against an oval-shaped backdrop. Gauguin, a renowned post-impressionist painter from France, ventured to the Otaheite Windward Islands in French Polynesia during the late 19th century. Immersed in the vibrant culture and natural beauty of Tahiti, he sought to depict its essence through his art. In this particular piece, Gauguin skillfully combines watercolor and graphite on irregularly shaped cream wove Japanese paper laid down on ivory laid paper with brown and blue fibers laid down on cream wove paper. The result is a harmonious blend of colors that brings out the warmth of the subject's skin tone and captures the lushness of her surroundings. The Seated Tahitian Youth exudes both innocence and strength as she gazes into the distance. Her presence evokes curiosity about her story and background while embodying Gauguin's desire to portray authentic moments from everyday life in French Polynesia. This print serves as a testament to Gauguin's artistic vision and his ability to capture not only physical appearances but also emotions within his subjects. It invites viewers to delve deeper into their own interpretations of this enchanting portrait while appreciating the rich heritage
